Bees. You need to diversify.
I was in the supermarket at some point in the past and saw at least 40-50 jars of Honey, which leads me to believe that there’s no real demand for it anymore.
I believe that this lack of demand is down to the following reasons:
* No one likes Honey because it tastes crap and is full of dead bees
* People only buy it if they’ve got confused between Honey and Golden Syrup
* ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” Treacle
* ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” ” Maple Syrup
* It lasts forever, especially when you don’t actually eat it - so everyone in the world probably has a jar or two by now
Luckily Bee’s I have a few ideas to save you going under!!
* Collect flowers and sell them! You were already going to the flower for nectar or whatever, so bring it back and sell it
** For a niche market: remove all the pollen from the flowers so that you can sell them to people who are normally allergic to flowers
* Mining - Everybody needs coal! (shamelessly lifted from Mitchell and Webb)
* Cleaning. Bees are small so can probably mop up all those bits of dust that are in the air once you’ve wiped a dust surface. They could also remove spiders that you don’t want to touch
* Sky writing - you know, like in cartoons when they make a fist shape!
Good luck bees!

Perhaps a whole hive of bees could be employed to transport cargo, thusly saving the environment and keeping bees in employment.
Not forgetting of course that honey is merely a byproduct of the intentional purpose of cross-pollination.
You’ve got a lot of anger John…
