How to Start an Apiary Business
Do you have questions about how to turn your beekeeping hobby into a business? Join us for our May meeting where Dr. Jodi Conway will discuss how to get your apiary business up and running. Dr. Jodi manages Dandelion Springs Apiary (@dandelionspringsapiary) and Uptown Girls Honey Gift Shop on her 30-acre regenerative farm in Chesterfield.
Her journey into beekeeping began on daily walks, when she noticed a lack of bees on flowering plants. She drew on her pharmaceutical background to create natural healing products from honey, wax, pollen, and propolis. Today she manages 20+ teaching hives and runs a thriving retail and education hub with over 60 farm animals—all cared for using pesticide-free, regenerative practices.
