Frequently Asked Questions...
Is Bee Keeping cost effective. It's fairly expensive to set up at the start, course + equipment + hive & bees.?
Although I've read up about it, and looked at sites for the necessary , wonder what the final cost of starting might total, set against the likely honey to be harvested. also the break even figure (in years).
Is this just the wrong attitude to have on approaching this hobby ? I live between Brighton & Worthing on the South Coast, and am retired.
Answer:
The start up cost can vary a lot, depending on your approach. To keep costs down, you can build your own hive and look out for second hand equipment (although you need to be careful of disease). Your local beekeeping association is the best place to find out what is available locally. Even if you go for new equipment, you can get starter kits for around £200-300, depending on what is included.
When you first start, you probably will not sell much honey - friends and family will get a lot of it! But as you get more hives, honey can bring in a nice extra income. To be honest, the pleasure and satisfaction of keeping bees far outweighs any money you make - you''ll discover that yourself if you start keeping bees.

Retirement Financial Planning
With financial planning you can plan your retirement. But then, what do you think that retirement financial planning is all about? Well, in simple words, retirement financial planning engages making arrangements for the needed finances that you would need post retirement. Financial planning for retirement involves a defined contribution plan or a defined benefit plan. Some of the notable examples of defined contribution plan are as follows-
1. Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
2. 401(k)
3. Roth 401(k)
4. Profit sharing plans
In general, the aforementioned plan don't allow for any withdrawals from the savings for a stipulated span of time span.
On the other hand financial planning retirement with a defined benefit plan engages retirement accounts that is set up as well as controlled by an employer. These plans ensure a set payout during retirement. The financial calculation is chiefly based on the tenure as well as the salary of an employee. These funds may be further categorized into cash balance plans and pensions. They may be either unfunded or funded. Social security system is a suitable example of an unfunded plan wherein the contributions take the form of FICA or the Federal insurance contributions act.
Self employed people may also go in for financial retirement planning. The Simple IRAs, Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA as well as 401(k) are channeled towards the self-employed section of the financial system. Some of the benefits that the self employed people can opt for include tax deferred savings and up front tax breaks.
Most Retirement Financial Planning are inclusive of life insurance and health insurance products. These plans allow net-worth individuals an affordable and quick access to the investment classes. These plans are inclusive of products which diversify the contribution of an investor into multiple sub classes such as bonds, cash, commodities, stocks to name a few. Estate planning involves committees and trusts which safeguard your assets as well as their distribution incase of the applicant's demise. To sum up, Retirement Planning is a crucial factor that you need to take into consideration if you want to lead a financially secured life post retirement.
