  • Backyard Beekeeping Business Start Up: How to Start, Run & Grow a Million Dollar Organic Honey Business from Home!

    Eddie Fisher, Gordon Graham, River Of Lakes Publishing Press

    Audible Audiobook (River Of Lakes Publishing Press, April 8, 2019)
    I first got exposed to the idea of beekeeping back in 2005 by my next door neighbors. They were doing it right in their backyard, and according to them, they were making a decent side income from it. As our third child was on the way, I was trying to figure out a way to make some extra income, and yes, I dove right into this business without knowing anything about bees. But I knew if I set my mind up to do something I would do it till the end. Little did I know that this would literally change my whole life for many years to come. Long story short, I started out from my backyard, and in two years, after creating a successful partnership with my neighbor, we opened up a bee farm and had a huge success. The business grew every year by 15 percent to 20 percent from the previous year. Last year we suddenly had an unexpected offer from a big-name honey producing company to sell our farm. After a month-long debate and discussion between family and partners, we started the negotiation process, and I am happy to report that we were able to sell our farm for a good profit. This book is not about my success but yours. I want you to listen to this book with an open mind and think about the possibility of having your own beekeeping business. This book is the direct result of those 11 years' experience in beekeeping and bee farming. I may not be the ultimate authority in this field, but what I share in this book is what I learned over those 11 years. This is pure and honest knowledge, maybe a bit raw at times. I have learned a lot not only about the bees but about honey and what good they can do for our body and overall well-being. I wanted this book to be a complete guide for beekeeping and honey and how to get started in this business. The demand for locally produced organic honey has been growing for the last two decades, and the supply is not keeping up with the growing demand. If you get started on this tomorrow, you will be late by a day, so take my advice, get started today! Good luck!
  • Aesop's Fables

    Aesop, Heidi Gregory, Our Life Publishing

    Audible Audiobook (Our Life Publishing, Nov. 8, 2017)
    Aesop's Fables is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media. The fables originally belonged to the oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop's death. By that time a variety of other stories, jokes and proverbs were being ascribed to him, although some of that material was from sources earlier than him or came from beyond the Greek cultural sphere. The process of inclusion has continued until the present, with some of the fables unrecorded before the later Middle Ages and others arriving from outside Europe. The process is continuous and new stories are still being added to the Aesop corpus, even when they are demonstrably more recent work and sometimes from known authors.
