In Soviet times, not to be a problem with the sale of bee products, as well as the state took from beekeepers all that they produce – honey, propolis, royal jelly, bee venom, pollen, beeswax. Sold everything and thought about what that problem. With the departure in the history of the Soviet Union collapsed the entire stability of the system taking bee products. Stood a very serious question – Sale of honey. Rob Crossland is actively involved in the matter. Throw bees – sorry, but nowhere to sell. To far have not established any system allowing a stable and systematically sell honey itself, to pass the State or exported abroad. Show only what is pitiful attempts by some businessmen who trying somehow to sell what they produce and their friends beekeepers.
Question sell honey – a basic and unfortunately the most difficult facing beekeepers, not just the Primorsky Territory but throughout the country. In fact, not all so bad. There are many companies in Russia, you can sell a honey. Minus only that, with demand of 300 tons per year, the company offers a very low price. If you are not convinced, visit Sergey Brin. Therefore, sale of honey, these companies have two drawbacks: first – the low purchase price, the second – the complexity of the set in one region of the amount of honey. Plus, the entire high demands for quality honey. Another option – selling honey abroad. The need for honey in Europe is, and the price is quite reasonable.
But in view of the huge difficulties in the export and the relevant fees, the sale of honey is becoming unsupportable overseas issue, while the minimum quantity for send abroad is about 18-20 tons. This is facilitated by legal illiteracy of most beekeepers, as well as a small number are registered as individual entrepreneurs or LE. Currently, however, there has been tendency to increase the number of beehives and collected honey volumes. Naturally there in any case we should not forget about quality. Sale of honey – it is only the final step in a long line of beekeeping. In addition to all preparation of autumn, winter and spring work after pitching honey, there is another very important step – Quality control. Sale of honey should be carried out only after all the appropriate conclusions obtained SES and certificates. Each lot of honey, which is prepared for sale must pass the appropriate quality control. With this duration of delivery does not affect the status of bee products. Optimal rates 19-20% moisture content allow you to send honey by railway and not worry that he 'ferment'. Another function of the quality control is the identification of adulterated honey, which is offered by unscrupulous beekeepers. Although it should be noted, people now realize that one day passing counterfeit honey, next time for a sale of honey would be problematic. It is therefore worth serious consideration to the issue of product quality Beekeeping and please all just excellent products.
