The brother of my late companion, David, lives in Filmore, CA and is a semi-retired attorney. One of his clients was a beekeeper who had a bunch of hives. I say a bunch because I don't know how many. Every year he would give the attorney about a dozen boxes of pints of honey from his hives. Joe (the brother) gave David three boxes of this honey. This was about 15 years ago. Over the years we used up or gave away two boxes. Each box holds twelve pints. I still have seven unopened bottles and one I am working on. Sure is a good thing honey doesn't spoil.

When I was about 12, there was a house in our neighborhood that gave out jars of honey on Halloween. They must have had tons in order to do this - they gave out pint sized glass bottles.

What a sweet thing to do! (Sorry! I couldn’t resist!) Donna Peachtree City, GA When I was about 12, there was a house in our neighborhood that gave out jars of honey on Halloween. <snip> Lisa

Wish we had enough for us and our family through this winter. 115 lb. doesn't go very far in this family.
