Beekeepers may produce commodities (farm products) for sale. Honey is the most valuable commodity sold by beekeepers. Honey-producer beekeepers try to maintain maximum-strength colonies of bees in areas with dense nectar sources. They produce and sell [[honey|liquified honey]] and sometimes [[honeycomb]]s. Beekeepers may sell their commodities retail, as self-brokers, or through commercial packers and distributors. [[Beeswax]], [[pollen]], [[royal jelly]], and [[propolis]] may also be significant [[revenue]] generators. Taiwanese beekeepers, for example, export tonnes of royal jelly, the high-nutrition [[food supplement]] fed to queen honeybees. Modern beekeepers seldom keep honeybees exclusively for beeswax production. Beeswax is harvested along with honey and rectified for sale.
