Urban Beekeeping Kit For Honey Lovers
Trendspotter Springwise has a sweet article on urban beekeeping. Omlet’s Beehaus kit brings the practice back down to earth for individual consumers.
The Beehaus comes as a complete hive ready for colonization, with all the parts necessary including honey jars and a comprehensive beekeeping guide. Priced at GBP 465, the Beehaus is available in a choice of colours, and it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
An optional starter kit, meanwhile, includes the accessories a first-time beekeeper will need, such as a bee suit, veil, smoker and hive tools.
An average, colonized Beehaus will produce 50 jars of honey per year, UK-based Omlet says, with the potential for up to 100kg if things go well.
Will consumers tire of producing their own, hand-cultivated food? Survey says no, particularly during these rough economic times.

I think that that is a really cool concept and idea. So many people are switching over to growing their own vegetables, raising their own livestock for meat and eggs, why not provide a bee honey kit to the public as well!

That has to be the neatest DIY idea I’ve heard in a while. It looks like beekeeping could become a fun hobby, as well as a unique way to get some honey.
