We started putting beekeeping videos online around the same time, then built businesses with very different demands.\nGriff committed to a physical bee farm, honey production and beekeeping supplies. I moved towards queens, nucs and online education after failing to find the farm I wanted. We compare those choices and talk about the money, the risks and the work behind them.\nWe discuss why YouTube didn't sell the honey we expected, what the videos actually do for our businesses, and how we each fit filming around the bees. Griff explains his approach to diversification and employing people in-house. I share the pressure and expense of building the digital side of Black Mountain Honey.\nThen we get into family life, working where you live and the fear of leaving a secure job. We finish with what we'd do differently if we were starting again.\nIf you've ever wondered whether you could turn your beekeeping into a business, this conversation gives you plenty to think about.\nNew to beekeeping?
