CHERRY BEE, INC.
Cherrt Bee, Inc., is a small beekeeping operation located in Preston, Idaho. Each spring Marc, the owner, hires several beekeepers to manage and care for the hives owned by Cherry Bee. Marc pays these hive workers weekly during the spring, summer, and fall.
Marc purchases new supplies and materials for hive workers to use. The beekeepers go to the fields to check each hive, medicate each hive, clean any dead bees out of the hive, and add sugar water if the supply of honey in the hive is low.
Twice during the summer, hive workers extract honey from the hives. Then they go into the supply barn to strain the honey and package the finished product in a variety of different-sized containers. The finished honey is placed on shelves in the storage room. In the late fall, hive workers again check each hive, give them more medicine, and wrap the hives in black plastic to keep them warm during the winter.
Throughout the year, customers purchase honey from Marc at the Cherry Bee Store. Some commercial customers purchase the honey on account, while most customers pay cash. Marc purchases the suppliers both on account and with cash from local vendors. The medicine, sugar, and black plastic are kept in the supply barn along with other supplies and materials, as well as the honey inventory.
