Lime, blend, dandelion, spring, summer mix, Heather, softset.

What could be better for the enlightenment and pleasure of honey-lovers? Of course, such variety can only be offered when the bees are cared for and their product is processed by a hard-working and enthusiastic beekeeper who doesn't follow the herd along the easy route.

I'm sure everyone agrees with that sentiment.

As the poster in the background of your photo says, "Be nice." I can't help it.

I'm sure they do. I have learned a lot from Curly

I've just noticed....your snowman looks pretty uncomfortable or ecstatically happy......I can't decide which

I think you're miscalling the general situation. Personally, I think Curly is following the herd; by messing around with unnecessary time consuming things.

....like beekeeping for instance?

Jeez. I mean, why post this? Everyone was being nice to each other ....

Makes you wonder whether it’s real?
Maybe if I come back tomorrow it’s all been a dream?

Hardly not being nice is it. Now, if I was to encourage Curly not to think about where he's going with this marketing decision of his, that wouldn't be nice.

Well I think we all do this when we start off. I know curly has been keeping bees for a while but I think this has been the first year he’s got the bit between his teeth. I know I’m a mere lowly hobby keeper but when I first started getting a half decent crop I went mad with all sorts of different labels. The novelty wears off.

 

[Newbeeneil]

7 labels? Amazing. Although (here it comes!....) I reckon you're making work for yourself while potentially creating customer preferences that, in all honesty, they don't need to have. Not nitpicking for the sake of it, this is meant to be constructive!

7 labels?
I wish . I have honey from 10 apiaries which are all labelled individually, some have runny and soft set so potentially 20 different labels.......... oh and each jar has 3 labels, the main one for the front with all the required info on it, one on the back with general info on our beekeeping and processing of the honey and an anti tamper with one of 12 "bee facts" on it. God I wish I'd never started this

It's all good folks @rolandehas always been supportive, his advice has always in my eyes been sound, Infact he would be one of the beekeepers privately I would ask for advice and he knows it
