NEEDED !!!

Local beekeeper who is willing to sell honey,....preferably within an hours drive....and preferably wildflower honey, but will consider others if the price is right.

i am all out of my stash,,,i prefer to use honey instead of sugar in many things...a local supply would be great as i am paying shipping for it right now...
can not always be sure that the stuff in the store is what it says it is, and at those prices not worth the chance.

The honey sold in most retail stores is not raw honey ~ it is processed, heated and heavily filtered to prevent crystallization. Most do not sell Wildflower honey as wildflower honey is not consistent in color and flavor from hive to hive as it comes from whatever floral source the bees can find.

And Dutch gold sells direct at their plant in Roherstown. Lots of different kinds, case discounts, large quantities. Also sell jars and bottles at good process.

Dutch Gold does sell from there plant at good prices ~ however their honey comes in tank trucks from all over the US and Canada and is heat processed and heavily filtered.

will check this out, wasn't aware that they sold from the plant..

A. Sgtmom and I believe beaglady both have apiaries.
B. If all else fails, I picked up a 5 gallon bucket of honey from Juniata county, it's clover. I have it in Pint Jars now.

I do sell raw wildflower honey from my home in northern York County ~ however we are almost out until harvest time in mid July. We sell our honey for $6. a pound.

Chad I would prefer to buy local, just have not found the wildflower honey local that will sell it raw.

Lancaster County Beekeepers' Assoc. has an active club and may have a list of sellers of wildflower honey.

He has them. And I wouldn't see why they wouldn't roost up there...the headstrong chickens do LOL

A friend of mine has guineas that roost in the rafters of their barn.

Alright, here are the 3 bantams I picked up sitting in the palm of my hand. The poss. Sebright is on the tips of my fingers. Every day I look at her comb, the more convinced I become that this is actually a WLR Cornish bantam...

Quote: Thank you for the wealth of information,,,,that would explain why i have trouble finding wildflower honey local and in raw form,,,,I may have to settle for store bought until locals start to harvest again...let me know when you have wildflower to sell, will definitely try it...

I don't know what everyone else is experiencing, but here the weather is crazy! In one hour I have seen sun, rain, snow, back to sun, drizzling, and now it is overcast.
I am not sure whether to let everyone out.

Same here in State College area. Was pouring this morning when I was out in the coop. Dark and cloudy. Now it's sunny.

I'm in Benton/Unityville area - hubby works at Wise in Berwick. I don't think I can help you though. I don't have anything SQ... Not that I don't think my birds could win at the Bloom fair. I do have a blue wheaten Ameraucana rooster I could part with. He's pretty - colors in all the right places, no ticking and nice type... he's built a little lean, though. He also has a single beard gene (useful knowledge for breeding, but doesn't affect showing). He's 2yrs old and the nicest rooster I have. He isn't the "hold me" type, but he has never flogged me or the kids. He doesn't even jump the girls around you - and he doesn't mind you messing with his girls. I will have birds available closer to June.

If any one sees any gently used wood picket fencing on craigslist or know any one who has any, let me know please! Tyring to make my garden a little more sheep proof...

There is a store close to me that sells local honey. Pretty sure that's within an hour of you.
