The UK Bee Farmers Association has about 300 members, and has not changed
this level for some years.  There may be some others who keep bees on some
sort of commercial basis.

A statistic that was thrown about some time ago was that 75% of the members
of the Bee Farmers obtain less than 25% of their income from bee related
activity.

The number of bee farmers making a full time living out of bees in the UK
is, I suspect, a very small number.

all their income employ Amm?
