I find that a few local markets with time spent on marketing and presentation and a good banter and you can clear 100 jars in a couple of hours
Stay with us won’t you
I feel for you but many of us will not sell other people's honey. It's our unique selling point that it is local. I meant no offence, just trying to help, and wish you luck wherever you go next. Try Somerset
Yes, no worries, no offence taken at all. thats why we are moving. Birds of feather flock together.I feel for you but many of us will not sell other people's honey.

Good luck ... I understand the need to keep an income flow and how devastating economic downturns have - particularly on small enterprises that often exist hand to mouth. Nobody should criticise you for doing what you have to do to keep your family fed and housed. Let's hope you find a community that is more tuned in to buying and enjoying the benefits of locally grown produce and enjoy some success ... and perhaps a return to beekeeping in due course. Dip in and let us know how you get on ...
No worries ,I did not want a pity party. Its just reality of many peaple..i was just trying tp explain my situation. I really did not want to go to the tip site with 500kg . It would be completly wrong in every way.I am not giving up beekeeping at all.But will start again asap.
Rather than go to the tip, would your local foodbank accept it? There’s a community kitchen near where I work, they have recently won an award for the work they do, collecting spare produce from allotments, supermarkets etc and then making it available for those who are struggling.
Yes it was a good option. I did consider it. But all my honey has been sold now, so relief..
Glad you have been able to sell it. Good luck for your future plans.
Good for you
Glad you managed to sell in the end it does get very frustrating hearing from some folk how easy it is to sell honey 
Yes german cars are good but often associated with a certain type of drivers but you do get the odd exception. its strange how the most important things to life have the lowest financial and social value like good parents , real friends and freedom ,but name brands and other mass produce are valued highly. Just remember non of this stuff and ego is going with us when we die, what stays here is our reputation and memory to our loved ones.Good for you
Hopefully you're not moving to Staffordshire - you'll be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Most folk have no money and the rest only value German cars and designer handbags
Don’t knock designer handbags! My most lucrative client sells designer handbagsGood for you

James get that eucalyptus woodland planted and off you go.
Bit strange that the Supreme/Jarrah at £750 a jar is 20 times rarer than manuka but the Jewel/Karri at £500 is supposedly 1,000 times rarer than manuka.
Only this morning was told of a beekeeper actually giving honey away over there in the west In that karri/jarrah region too.
My honey is much rarer than that stuff in Harrods. Maybe I should tart my labels up a bit.
