Hawaii-oh!

I see Hawaiian beefarmers get an average of $1.82 for a pound of beeswax. I just sold 40lbs to the local beekeeping supplies shop for £1.20 (about$2.10) per pound last weekend.

Hawaiians also receive an average of $1.32 for honey. I sell to retail (jarred and labelled) for £2.00 (about $3.50).

And I thought I was under-paid! Still, I expect the Pacific tropical climate helps output figures.
