at $1.20 lb. and 20 grams of yeast cost
12 cents. The needed 150 grams of
yeast nutrient costs $2.10. This is a
total material cost of $38.44 + 12 =
$3.20 per gallon. Adding 100 per cent
for bottles and work = $76.88 + 12 =
$6.40 production cost. On top of this
cost comes 82 per cent tax which is
$63.07. The total $139.92 + 12 =
$11.66 per gallon of honey wine + 4.5
= $2.59 per litre. The Ontario liquor
stores sell one litre of honeywine for
$39.86 or a 375 ml bottle for $14.95.
With our low production cost we could
sell very inexpensively, maybe for
$8.00 per litre. Every gallon of honey
wine would bring in $5.25 tax for the
province and $6.41 for the OBA,
therefore helping both the province's
tax income and apiculture. Ontario
needs 100,000 beehives. One gallon
per hive would bring $525,000 tax for
the province. $641,000 is too much for
the OBA, so we could give up three-
quarters of this amount to the Ministry
of Agriculture for other programs.°
