> This is a great person-to-person tool. At the Frieburg Fair, our States
largest, I helped a fellow beekeeper sell his honey. I told the customers I
bet I could tell them which honey they liked best. I asked them only one
question, "Do you eat a lot of honey?"

Then I gave them a full flavored honey and a light honey to sample. The
honey eaters always preferred the full flavored honey and the dabblers,
especially young people, the lighter honey. Made a lot of sales and repeat
customers,as David noted.
