Honey sales deregulated in Florida — a boon for backyard beekeepers
For J.R. Denman, making honey over the past three years hasn't been that sweet a deal. Denman, who works in technology, spends about $1,500 a year on the protective suits, new hives, lids and bottles that make up his sideline.
The moonlighting gig takes place largely in hisKissimmee back yard and kitchen.
"Beekeeping is a money-losing proposition," Denman said. "I can bottle all the honey I want, but I can't sell it."
That's about to change. Florida's Department of Agriculture announced Monday that it's adding honey to its list of "cottage foods." Small-scale beekeepers — those who have no more than $15,000 a year in sales — can now bottle and sell honey without getting permits and preparing it in a Department of Agriculture-inspected kitchen.

Para JR Denman, que
trabaja en tecnología, la miel en los últimos tres años no ha sido un
trabajo
dulce porque gasta alrededor de $ 1,500 al año en los trajes de
protección, nuevas colmenas, tapas y botellas que necesita
para trabajar en su patio trasero y su cocina.
"La apicultura es una propuesta de pérdida de dinero", dijo Denman. "Puedo embotellar de toda la miel que quiero, pero no se puede vender."
Eso está por cambiar. El Departamento de Agricultura dela Florida anunció hoy que se trata de añadir a la miel a su lista de "alimentos artesanales." Los pequeños apicultores que no tienen más de 15.000 dólares al año en ventas - ahora se puede embotellar y vender la miel, sin obtener los permisos y preparando en una
cocina autorizada por el Departamento de Agricultura
