Bottling Honey the Classy Way 

Glad you like it. So many ways to do it. Most of the honey I sell is in the squeeze bottles but these are very nice and work well with the right clientele and as gifts.

Thanks so much for your kind words.

Thanks for checking in!

Thanks Grayson!

Thanks for checking in!

Yes they turn out really nice. I got the idea from someone else but have actually changed it a bit for my preference. There is a learning curve for sure to get a nice clean look.

Thanks. They are very nice.

Has worked well for me for a year and a half now!

Thanks man. Trying to up my game a bit.

Thanks Tim!

Thanks. They turn out very nice!

Hey that’s awesome. Glad you like it!!!

Thanks!

Thanks. You too!

Yes they still seem to have good customer service even though they are quite large!

Thanks Brian. It’s a lot of work and extra steps but worth it I think for the look and vibe. Perfect for gifts.

Thanks for checking in my friend!

The honey dipper sounds like a nice touch!

If you try it out let me know how it works out. Thanks for checking in frío across the pond. I’m watching the World Cup soccer match between the US and England right now!

Great! I hope it works out for you. There is a little bit of a learning curve but not too bad.

I haven’t removed a lot of them but the wax seal does not seem to be an issue. The bigger issue is that I push them in pretty hard to make sure they down come loose so you have to grab them pretty hard to remove them. Or pry them up with a knife or other object to get them started. If careful can be removed without significant damage.

Yes it is. But worth it and some people are willing to pay more for that classy look. I don’t sell a lot of these but they can be profitable.

@@brucesbees I forwarded your Web channel link as many people as I could think of. It’s really nice to see a product that you know it’s provenance compared to something you buy off the shelf, as an example, out of Walmart. Where your not sure what’s in it or if it’s corn syrup disguised as honey.

Do you know what could be interesting?. How about an, “adopt a hive” for kids in school. And then at the end of the season the parents can order honey from that hive!

Hey good stuff. Thanks!

The bottles are clean when they come. I pull them out of the box and fill.

⁠@@brucesbeesthat’s good to know. I bought some jars and even though they look clean they don’t necessarily smell clean. What kind of advice do you have for someone like me….whose interested in getting into buying bees and harvesting honey?

@popaki9484 no way to completely answer that question here. Biggest thing is to find a mentor if possible and give it a go. Might be some things in this video that would be helpful to consider before diving in. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IJi12DV_HeQ.htmlsi=_A5-00H7so-LfUcx

Beeswax

I currently charge $8 and $15 for one and two pound squeeze bottles. And $5, $9 and $16 for the three sizes of Muth jars.

It is on there.

On the tag

I believe it is a 2” stamp. That is the width of the wood the stamp is attached to.

But if you decide to order one be sure to clarify specs to make sure it will fit on your tag.

Thanks

I sell them locally for $5,$8 and $16. They are a little more on the website. Just a little more on the website.

@@brucesbees That's not too bad! Thanks and hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Hmm I don’t know. Never had anyone really say it was an issue except for one older lady that had a hard time. Maybe a corkscrew would work?🤷🏻‍♂️ I personally have just worked the cork back and forth or used a knife or some sort of utensil to loosen the cork.

@@brucesbees Thanks for your feedback. Maybe I'd shoved the cork in too far, but I was making a mess trying to scrape the wax off an 8oz jar, and the corkscrew left bits in the honey. But after lots of web scouring and some more experimentation, I think I've found the trick! Wrapping twine around the base of the cork just before dipping...it breaks the seal cleanly and then I can just unscrew the cork. And possibly I was overthinking it if you haven't had any trouble, lol.

@lindseychinni5296 that is an interesting idea. Not sure I understand is the twine inside the bottle?

​@@brucesbees Wish I could upload a pic. Not in the bottle...wrapped around the base of the cork, just atop the bottle. Sort of between the cork and the top of the bottle. Then I dip and the wax seal holds it in place. But a gentle pull unwraps the twine, pulling the wax off with it. It's lovely! And now I think I'll have to raise my price. 😅

Do you tie it on there? How do you get it to stay while you dip?

I think it is either 1 3/4” or 2”. I can’t remember for sure.

Court be 1 7/8”. The tag is 2” wide.

@@brucesbees ok thanks, what do you sell these for in person?

I sell them locally for $5, $9 and $16 but that price will vary depending on situation and location.

@@brucesbees gotcha I am looking to try and do something similar for some local gift shops

Lol. I guess I have a new name haha! Good one!!! I happen to be from the south.
