Micro Business Idea: Honey Business

© by Siona Karen

What’s the “buzz” word for 15-year-old Seattle teen Henry Miller’s micro business? BEES! Ever since Henry learned just how crucial bees were to our ecosystem as a whole, he decided to do something about it. Henry bought a small hive and has been keeping bees ever since. However, it wasn’t long before Henry found himself with a whole lot of honey. What could he do with it? Turn it into a micro business! Henry began bottling honey through his business, Henry’s Humdingers. To stand out from the rest, Henry incorporates spices like red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and ginger into the honey for a spicy zing. And the concept has taken off. Henry sells his honey at local trade shows with great results. His unique product earned the award of Top 5 New Products at the Natural Expo West and Henry became the Top Entrepreneur of 2011!   And where is the honey taking him? Henry plans to release his product in local grocery stores in the very near future. What sweet success!

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
