We have operated as a Florida Cottage Food business for a few years, and now we are wanting to expand, start a business. That's the reason we even considered putting hives on other properties.
She is interested in be keeping and that's why we put hives on her property. We are mentoring her. She has 2 hives now. We have 7 hives there, and will get honey from all of them this year.
Last year we bartered. We had only four hives there. She helped with the extraction of honey and we gave her about 25% of the honey. I think that is too much, but I want to be fair. I think your right about receipts if we do become a "real business," so I'll talk to her about cash payment.
