Beekeeper Sellers face unique challenges: Revenue comes in seasonal bursts after harvest. Multiple product lines (honey, wax, candles, lip balm) from same hives. Equipment costs are high and ongoing (queen replacements, frames, treatments). Farmers market and wholesale pricing have different margins. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median beekeeper seller earns $25,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Hive equipment and bee suits is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Square is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?

Harvest season: you pulled 200 lbs of honey from 8 hives this week. After extraction, filtering, and bottling, you have 150 jars. You sell at the farmers market ($12/jar), to a local co-op ($8/jar wholesale), and on Etsy ($14/jar + shipping). The beeswax goes into candles and lip balm — different products with different costs. Your hive maintenance this year was $1,200. How much of that $1,200 does each jar of honey need to absorb?
