I posted this before with good results.
I am a beekeeper in New England, U.S.A. I love honey and bees, and would like to trade a bottle of my honey for a bottle of local honey from your area of the world, wherever that may be.
www.normsotherhoney.com is where you can find out more about my honey (I am Andrew) , but it is just an informative site. Let me be clear- I am not trying to sell honey, I just want to trade.
Well, if you are interested, please send me a PM or post here. Frogger with attest that I will send the honey! She sent me some marvelous and unique honey from France.
Happy eating.

Do you mean the last two words? Or about the honey from France?
I like your quote, Espina.

Be aware that it is against quarantine rules to import honey into some countries - Australia being one of them. (I think I wrote this same warning last time you posted)

I'll stick up for beekeeper and I say quarantine schmarantine.
indy, how'd you send bagels? Can I have some too? They'd go nicely with OP's honey ;)

How nice to wake up at 5:00AM with a bit of a cough, make some tea sweetened with honey from my hives, and find several responses to my post.
Asmallturnip, yes indeed, there are beehives on balconies and rooftops all over Manhattan. I know there are some atop the Italian School, for example. It is pretty cool.
Indyvt, Indiana honey is different from mine thus interesting to me- I would be happy to trade with you. The only thing I ask is that one make sure that the honey is locally produced, i.e., you know for a fact that it is not a mixture of honey from elsewhere, which is very often thinned from corn syrup or worse. Chinese honey is particularly foul, with an additive, the name of which escapes me at the moment...
JaneyD, yes, you are right, but for a small quantity for personal use, I have never heard of this being enforced. I have traded with Australian beekeepers in the past, without incident. Perhaps I was just lucky. In truth, nothing harmful will be transported in honey, though transporting bees themselves could be harmful, i.e. pests that could cling to the bees.
Thanks Frogger for the compliment on the honey. But I can't take credit. The bees make it and I take it. Seems unbalanced, but I leave them enough to get through the winter, and do a lot of chores around their house, i.e. mow the lawn and paint the trim.
