Except if someone in your family is fatally allergic to bees.
Well of course there is always an exception. Keep in mind that honey bees are not aggressive unless you trap them like under clothing or you get into the hive. I have one hive that I can do all but steal honey with no suit. One of my mentors and suppliers is deathly allergic and has to carry epi pen and then go straight to ER if stung. But he still works bees. It's a secret love of us who do it. Get in that hive bare handed and really interact with the ladies.

Good to see things are back to normal... 10 pages to read from 4pm to 9pm.
Welcome to all the new posting people!
Congratulations to all who have new chick and duck babies on the scene.
Lost a very sweet, dear to me lady this weekend. Still don't know what from. Very sudden. Yvonne, I'll miss your warm sweet hugs, kind caring words and infectious smile. So glad you don't have to put up with the stresses of this life any more even though you did it with such grace and joy! See you again someday soon.

I can't help with the Manuka but (hopefully) this fall I may have some local (from my area) honey to sell. I only got 20# (1 1/2 gal) this year. But by fall hope to have around 10 gallon. If we get a better summer than last. I am sure you must have some beekeepers up there who could help. Keep in mind that so much of the grocery store honey is cut with corn syrup and other things and much of it comes from countries that allow the use of nasty chemicals.
Blueducklings - Misty Mountain is sold at Farmers Markets, and this time of year you can buy it from the Family Grocery in Fall City. The art techer also has his hives in Carnation, but I like his honey better - tastes kind of like beeswax, I like that. Misty Mountain Man and his son are very nice people. They have many varieties because he places hives at friends farms all over the state, so you will nees to ask with each honey, where his hives are. most are very local, but his buckwheat is from the other side.

Where does one get this nummy voodoo medicine??
I just lapped up the local honey I bought from the farm store lastyear & am just looking for another jar of it.
Ihave a jar of deer velvet honey from New Zeland I was going to put in my tea tomorrow, but voodoo honey sounds more fun than deer stuff.
The other place I was goint to try for honey was De Youngs at Woodinville.
Nobody on site has honey to sell me by chance???
I used to buy it from a place online, but since it has surged in popularity, it has also surged in price. PCC has a small jar for $37, but I recently saw that our local nutrition store had it for only $18. Since you don't need much (and in my house the kids know to only use it when needed now, no longer for peanut butter honey sandwiches) it lasts a long time. They recommend changing the bandages daily, be we change only 2X per week, and it works great! I'll check to see if it is in stock, and if it is, I will bring some to the SECRET MEETING.
We use raw, local, unfiltered honey as well. I get it either form Misty Mountain Farms (Carnantion) or form DS's Art teacher (particularly yummy honey). Since I have been eating a tsp per day, I hardly ever need allergy meds anymore, and seldom get serious sinus infections anymore.
Hmm, I think I saw a sign on Woodinville / Redmond Rd for Raw Honey.
Need mor HONEY...

Thanks CR, my head hasn't quite wrapped around the news yet.
Someone(sorry, lost who right now) was askin about transporting the goat feeders you have. Didn't know if they would fit in my yukon that I'm driving to the show this weekend. If you know the dimensions, I might be able to deliver them for you when I go.
Rff- did you get word on the gander that needs transport?
