Perhaps you could sell it via the forum? Someone in our village makes honey & I always buy local if I can. It tastes delilcious. You can also sell the beeswax and propolis What about Honey soap ? I have a recipe for beeswax polish if you have wwod furniture - basically just beeswax and turps with a bit of esssential oil you can also use it to make handcreams etc Back to top ejc-free Joined: 11 Jul 2005 Posts: 139 Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2005 2:53 pm    Post subject: Local honey is also brilliant for Hayfever sufferers - MOH hasn't had hayfever - although we live in the middle of farmland since he started eating locally grown honey on a regular basis. I think this works like homeopathy - in that you build up a tolerance to the local pollens - he used to have awful streaming eyes, sneezing etc - no longer. Now what can I do to help him his allergy to housework - claims the dust upsets him......
