thank you barry!

couple guys are kind of stinkers, if i don't write 'liquid honey' on there they do,  but whatever!  yes they all do ask me if it's liquid, fragile, perishable. (i do always mark as perishable liquid,  they all know me and know what i am sending and all honey i send is sealed in ziplocs) these two really are the only thorns that make me write LIQUID HONEY on the package in addition to 'liquid perishable', or they do in permanent ink.  i don't argue.  i have sent a great deal of honey through the us mail.  couple of them i really like and give them honey for gifts from time to time when i go in.

COOL!  ;D  I just finished my last bottle from Beeboy! Great timing!

It's like christmas you guys, getting honey from our fellow beeks, you can't wait to try it on  :D

Now, I am still willing to trade, buy, and ship honey to anyone that is willing to do the same. The only factor in my case is, that it won't be directly from my hive...yet, but it will be within 10 miles of where I live. And keep in mind that I make a homemade honey lotion that has no preservatives in it, and I also make homemade Honey Bourbon Vanilla for those of you who bake goodies or have someone in the household that bakes.

Now, my list of honey samples include Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and now Iowa. This is a blast!   :bee:

   Excellent year for honey here in the midwest. This year is the best I have tasted so far. Not putting down previous years, but this years honey is SO SWEET it makes you pucker.  I use half the amount in my coffee that I have in the past.  Light colored and very good. Rave reviews so far.
