Black Queen Bee (honey)

My plan is to grow the unBEElievably delicious Black Queen Bee raw honey business. Our top shelf honey is used by allergy sufferers and "sugar swappers". The goal over the next year is to supply honey on a larger scale - to larger grocery stores and restaurants in the area.

About this idea
1) Increase the amount of honey which would require more hives and bees. 2) Increase the variety of products that we offer - infused lavender honey, hot honey, and garlic honey. 3) Increase our tours of the apiary to schools across the Greater Grand Rapids area. 4) Offer packages to maintain hives to those who want to save bees or bee keep.
Impact
1) Increasing bees helps farmer crops, and our food supply. 2) Many people who use honey are more health conscious, and seasonal allergy sufferers -impacting overall health. 3) We provide education to students thereby creating new apiarists.
What I'll do with $5,000
Purchase 10 more hives, bees, honey containers, and bee suits. We would also purchase supplies to build a storage space for housing the increase of honey. With the increase dollars, money would be used to fund the company's certification.
