Well said, Scott.

Every day, people buy Cadillacs or Mercedes.  Ford and Chevrolet have not put
them out of business.

Every day, people go to a local FAIR and  pay $1.50 for a  coke.  Every day,
people go to some sports event like a professional football game, basketball
game or, baseball
game and pay $3.50 for a  hot dog.

In the past 5-10 years, I have never sold a single pound of honey for less
than
$3.50/pound, $4.50 for sourwood or tupelo, $5.00 for a 12 ounce Cut comb,
$4.50 for
12 ounces of creamed honey,  $3.50 for a 3 ounce beeswax rose, and $8 for a
pair of
10 inch dipped candles.  One of my biggest sellers at Christmas time is 6 one
ounce
jars of 6 different honeys in a wooden rack for $7.50 which figures $20.00/pd!
Customers buy these for Christmas presents and the receivers learn all about
6 different honeys, and some come back to me to buy as NEW customers.

Don't pay the slightest attention to the price in the grocery store or other
beekeepers prices.  Sell a quality product with a quality label at a quality
price.

By the way, I sell over 6000 pounds each year which sure adds to my social
security
check.

I will end with a statement of importance:  I have never sold a single jar of
honey in my life; but I sell the DESIRE to have some of George's honey
because George's honey is so high class and special.
