What does it really cost to keep commercial beekeeping operations running?

A new University of Illinois study highlights the financial challenges facing commercial migratory beekeepers.

The findings reveal that while a representative operation earns approximately $31 per colony after covering annual cash expenses, this shifts to a $62 loss per colony when equipment and infrastructure costs are included.

The study is relevant because a resource like this has not been available for commercial beekeeping, making it difficult to assess the industry's economic condition.

For an industry already facing colony health challenges and rising costs, these findings raise important questions about long-term sustainability.

What does this mean for the future of commercial beekeeping?

Self-fertile doesn’t mean bee-free!

A two-year study of the self-fertile Independence almond variety found that trees accessible to honey bees had greater nut set and higher yields, with research pointing to one hive per acre as an optimal stocking rate.

Even self-fertile almonds benefit from the work of honey bees.

Better is not the same as sustainable.

Preliminary results from the 2025–26 U.S. Beekeeping Survey estimate a 39.9% annual loss of managed honey bee colonies nationwide. While that’s an improvement from last year, losses remain high, with commercial beekeepers reporting an estimated 38.7% annual loss.

For beekeepers, rebuilding lost colonies means continued costs, resources, and pressure on operations essential to pollination and agriculture.

We want to hear from YOU! Do you think this level of colony loss is sustainable for the beekeeping industry?

- Yes, it's manageable
- No, it's unsustainable
- Unsure

Cast your vote and share your thoughts in the comments! What will it take to create a more sustainable future for beekeeping?
