Benefits from TeleFood

Here I am checking the hives. There are so many bees now that I have to wear a protective hat and clothing.

In 2001, I produced and sold 1 052 kilos of honey. I got 2.50 lati (about 5 US dollars) a kilo. I also sell frames with fertilized queen bees inside for 5 lati (10 US dollars) per frame. People normally buy four or five frames at a time.

The extra money I earn thanks to TeleFood helps me cope with increases in the cost of living. Petrol gets more and more expensive. Latvia joined the European Union recently and merchants used that as an excuse to raise prices.
