Thanks Daniel. Since it is a business account you really cannot friend me. I am trying to figure all of it out.

So Mike... what changed your mind about FB...? Fairly interesting bunch of beekeepers on there. I keep it down to just beekeepers and family. Often... some of the beekeeper types can have some interesting pics and that makes it worthwhile to me. Of course, some can get overly political at times or religious at times... but that is mostly family. BTW... I like your pics... keep adding them.

Ok. Thanks for looking us up on there. I don't yet have a personal account but when I do its only going to be friends and family. This is so I can talk to everyone about one subject, beekeeping, and then keep that out of my personal account. Plus I really don't want to friend a bunch of people I don't know. Think you probably see where I am going. When i do get a personal account I really don't want to get bombarded on it about beekeeping.
Why did I change my mind? Time can do weird things do ya!

Ballina Honey

I am just getting to where I have some excess honey to sell. I am curious as to how you folks who are using facebook deal with people you dont know coming to your homes or shops? I would think that you would have to end up with people you dont know having acess to your face book page and seeing that you have honey for sale? I admit I know nothing about FB at all . thanks for any info. GB

I use it to let the people I already know that I have more honey for sale. The strangers that have asked about honey I sometimes meet in town, but more for convenience than security.

I've had friends want honey based on extracting pics I've posted.

I have a business specific page that I use to let my customers know what I am bringing to my various markets and where the retail stores are that they can get my products. I do not list my home address, so I don't have a problem with people just showing up.
My personal Facebook page is tightly regulated, but my business one is fairly open to whoever wants to find out about Island Apiaries. I have never had a problem.
