One  must belive in his product. Put real quality out in front and
develope a market for your product.I have no compatition for I am the
compatition.I take my bees high in the Olympic Moumtains of Washington
State US. Its a very clean envoirnment with absents of polution and the
people pay for it at the rate of $5 US per pound jar. I don't do much,
6,000 pounds , last year. I will go to 300 hives this year to meet my
demand.Don't give your honey to anyone.I don't do middle men , its my
work and my money.Beekeepers get pushed around too much. I don't care
where you are or what language you speak.We are layed back and Love
nature. Thats wonderful , but it also the problem.We don't kick butt and
take names.A little of that will change over time. We have problems and
they have to be faced with some action after some good thought.
 Everyone has choices. Make good ones.
