Hi Ivan:

I used to give out free honey, too, hoping it would bring in the customers.
It didn’t. I imagine they enjoyed the honey though. I quit giving it away
quite as often. It still makes great gifts, and the immediate neighbors get
a little for free since I live in the city. But I’ve given up on trying to
woo people with free stuff. What I have done, though, is to give out a
little extra now and then or sell it for a bit less to really good
customers.
Regards,
Dick Allen
