I want to become a beekeeper! - Issue #7 - Multitasking of beekeeping.

I'll be honest, at the moment when I got a general idea of beekeeping as a business, I was a little scared lol.

Yes, the thing is that in addition to acquiring skills in the field of communication with bees, with insects, whose nature can be unpredictable, you should master such professions or skills as carpentry, or joinery, working with plastic and metal, and be savvy in the honey trade, if you want honey to bring at least some profit.

And, to this it is worth adding something similar to fishing, if you want to catch swarms of bees, but, probably, this is the easiest to master, because this takes the passion of a fisherman or a hunter.

Personally, I decided for myself that I will not buy ready-made hives, but will make them from polyurethane, but this does not deprive me of the need to acquire woodworking equipment to be able to make frames for honeycombs.

And for cutting and assembling polyurethane cases, everything is simpler, a string and a 12-volt current rectifier, an old table that can be converted into a structure similar to a guillotine, or, make several cutters of different sizes with blades for stationery knives, which will allow you to cut off quarters and excess on polyurethane with a ruler.

Woodworking in this case is more expensive, you need to have a circular saw, a milling machine, an electric plane, or a jointer, and a pneumatic stapler with a compressor for assembling wooden frames, if you do not want to work with a hammer and hammer nails by hand.

Staple gun staples are more practical and won't split thin wooden slats, but time will tell which way I go.
