 In this 216th Episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I continue the conversation with my friend Adam Rapier from Colorado.  We are going to discuss Starting a Beekeeping Business.  Now, I know many of you are not beekeepers and will never be beekeepers, but I hope you hold on and stay tuned to this episode.  Like walking through a garden, each small business story can inspire you to start something of your own or teach you something new.  After all, every gardener or homesteader might have an abundance of tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, eggs or milk that you can give the surplus away or sell to a local customer base.
