Honey swap

[angela]

Hey did anyone around here ever try to do some kind of a honey swap, just to check out honeys from other parts of the country? I'd be willing to send honey to folks who would send some of theirs to me. Any takers?

What are you offering? I have summer/fall honey, a light, fast to crystallize honey with likely a good amount of cotton. Working on some meads and creamed honey also.

My honey is fairly light, primarily locust blossom and rest wild flower. I just love tasting honey from other areas so I thought a swap might be a great way to do it.

Hello Angela,

I would swap with you. I have fairly light golden rod honey .

Great! Send me an email and we can trade addresses and all that stuff!

I am into swapping, honey that is. I have a nice golden wildflower honey from CT if anyone is interested.

On another forum a few years ago, Denise took up honey from everyone and then mailed it out to the contributors. Would this be an easier idea and should there be an agreed upon amount such as pint or 8 oz? We would have to send some money to help the organizer pay for reshipping. I would like to get in on the swapping action...

Maybe I'm just oversimplifying things, but I was just thinking, I'll send out a honey bear (or whatever) to someone who's interested and they can send some back to me. No pressure, no extra organizational stuff. It's all honor system, which I don't mind. I'll even send out the first honey! I could do this with several different people at a time, and so could any of you. Email me and get me an address and I'll get some in the mail! angela@shinall.com

Anyone else want to swap?

Hey newbee 101,

I will swap with you. I have a few bears left if you want to try honey from Illinois.

Sure, I will email you. I got 1lb plastic queenline style jars.

Hey Amy- got your honey - it's great stuff - thanks!

I would be willing to swap a jar from my very first hive this year. I'm in the city, so I can't tell what kind of blooms were visited...all I know is that it's nice and light...very tasty!
