If it is cottage production, then it's not going to be enough to satisfy the demands of the Empire. I think that the Empire would be most likely to get was from its own apiarists and doesn't have the strength to menace Dagori Inkarth.

Simply because they are happy to sell the produce of their charges does not mean that they will sell it to all comers or conform to modern mercantile standards. The only known place near the Bee tribe where such methods are practiced is Grubfarm.
