Jsut had an article published in the paper about honey which we gave
them some good information and it was put out that I keep bees and
sell honey. Well, needless to say the city health department got wing
and said we couldn't do that unless we maintained the same
requirements as a restuarant. Granted we are a little more involved
then the average bee keeper in that we stock, repackage and sell 10 -
12 different varities of honey as well as home beer and wine making
supplies. The city says I can't even sell the honey I produce unless I
comply with the stringent requirements for a restuarant which will
involve big $$$. I do maintain good sanitary practices, but what they
want is enough to put a little guy like me with a part-time business,
out of business! Was just wondering if anyone else has had these
problems and what they did about them. If I can't get them solved I
guess another fledging small business bites the dust and I start
keeping bees and making beer for fun again!
