    Extractor maintenance

    I use a Lyson basics range. The only thing I do is lubricate the ball bearing with food grade grease. It's jet washed clean, dried and wrapped shrink wrap for storage.

    Doff of the cap to the NBU

    Just watched the National Honey Show video update from Nigel Semence re: V. velentina. In the Q&A a gentleman does state that anecdotally in Dieppe market there were significantly less Vv this year than last which suggests that the weather has taken a significant toll.

    Labelling considerations

    I have been giving thought to labels recently. I have been aiming to get a label wide enough for three faces or 2 faces. The label will have a front part or main part of the label on a full face then the flank faces are fully or half covered with information about the Honey etc.

    Jar deal

    Next time you go to a Honey show where there is a good sized section of "Honey for commercial sale" take a look at the labels and jars. If the general public are allowed see what they look at and talk about. Hex jars seemingly present them selves better. I feel it the fact that you can have an...

    Honey authenticity (again)

    Yes Panorama would be great for this. Big problem I have felt for years is that local authorities having responsibility for trading standard etc doesn't work. A national system would surely have more teeth and also a budget large enough to be able to check supermarkets produce and enforce it...

    Display case

    Personally the Thornes cases although expensive look the smartest tbh. I have seen plenty of homemade cases and none show a frame to it's best as none complement the aesthetically pleasing slightly of a well drawn and capped frame as the Thornes.

    Jar of honey packaging

    I checked with my house insurer and they were happy with a person or two a day to collect Honey from my door. It's the third party liability aspect in case someone sues after tripping over on your property that's the issue.

    Jar of honey packaging

    Selling Honey on-line can definitely be argued as I will below be classed as popping a few jars in a local shop and is definitely no different from selling at the farm gate. Just because WWW stands for World Wide does not mean a web address can't be uaed to sell 20 jars online a year to a few...

    Exxon Mobil

    Having seen how many pipelines have been installed accross the UK since the Victorian Dam building era and the fuel pipelines since the start of the second world war I am reticent to sign such petitions as the country side recovers and in places can be re-invigorated and these petitions are all...

    What size jar for 227g of Honey

    Afternoon Apoologies as there are plenty of threads on cost of jars but sporadic info on the most suitable size of jars for Honey. I am looking at the C Wynne Jones webs site and wondering which of their jars (preferably round) is best suited to 227g of Honey. This takes into account that...

    Jar of honey packaging

    I just ordered a jar of Honey from a well known Welsh Honey Farmer and looked at his packaging and where it was from. As I understand if you sell online you do need inform your local Councils Environmental Health dept as scores on the doors is required.
