I have recently started keeping some of my bees in a small out apiary. I have extracted this Honey separately from my home apiary to allow the owner of the land to sell it as genuinely from the apiary site. I am happy with this and should I get enough honey I will sell any surplus at another...

I am down to my last box of honey jars which I managed to purchase from Pattesons in 2013 when they were offered at half price. I am now looking to buy a few more but without any current offers on hex jars I am reluctant to pay full price. I am after suggestions regarding suppliers who are able...
