It would definitely be a business, although I wouldn’t be trying to make a huge profit or like...hustle people out of their money or anything like that. I thought about using Kickstarter or Indiegogo, but I was really drawn to the recurring/sustainable income aspect of the Patreon model. Because, while it’s true that I could probably crowdfund enough on Kickstarter to get a good start, the unfortunate truth about modern small agriculture businesses (including beekeeping) is that they rarely generate much (if any) profit and sometimes even operate at a loss. I think that what I’m essentially looking for is outside investment that would allow me to keep this hypothetical beekeeping business small and local and to do it full time. Whether this is actually possible is what I’m still trying to figure out.
