Getting the lids off Thorne's honey buckets

[E&MBees]

Does anyone else struggle to remove the lids from Thornes honey buckets? I’ve broken fingernails and cursed lots this morning and still haven’t managed to open it. Got another stall next week and really need to transfer the honey into a bucket with tap today!

They are good stout buckets and fit in the allotted space nicely, but the lids are so tight

Is that not the point? The kids can't get in then.

I hadn't realised they could breed

Yes....last year I posted the same. Heat them slightly with a hair dryer, becomes much easier
