I can hardly believe this! Not only do our bees make honey, but when we put up a sign, people buy the stuff, too! I really didn't believe it would happen so easily.
I've discovered the popular size around here seems to be the 5-lb. jug. People think "food storage," and the 5-lb. jug is so convenient. For one thing, it pours nicely into smaller containers for table use. It pours nicely into measuring cups for baking and cooking. And 5 lbs. is light enough that most people can easily carry and shelve it. I had to buy more jugs for our next honey harvest, which is this weekend. And this will be the last of the season.
This honey will be from our Minnesota Hygienic bees; the last was from our Italians. I've never heard there's much difference in honey between the bee varieties -- it's mainly from the flower varieties they visit. This super of honey was a long time in the making, so we'll see what blend of flavor we get this time!
Our next project will be our beeswax products: "None of your beeswax" lip balm and a nice lotion bar. The girls at Honey Folk are excited to get busy on that line.
