Beautiful frames of golden goodness there. Happy for you ;D 8)

That first honey is always the best!

And shhhhhh! Don't tell you're family or friends. They'll ask to buy it from you, but what they are really hoping is you'll just give them some. And with only two frames, you don't really have enough to share yet. The first batch is all yours.
