Making Profit from Honey Bees as a Small Scale Beekeeper with Dr. Adam Ingrao
Adam will discuss the ins and outs of nuc production for beekeepers under 100 colonies. There will be a special focus on development, management, costs, quality control, time commitment, profit margins, and customer expectations. Nuc production is an important part of developing a sustainable local bee supply that does not rely on the importation of bees to replace annual losses. Dr. Adam Ingrao is the Co-Founder and National Director for the Heroes to Hives program, leads the beekeeping education program at Bay Mills Community College, is an instructor for the Great Plains Master Beekeeping course, and serves as an Outreach Specialist at Michigan Food and Farming Systems. Dr. Ingrao also co-owns and operates Bee Wise Farms LLC, the largest producer of local nucs in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
