    It seems as if there should be more concern regarding the condition of 
honey drums, some are in deplorable condition, inside and out. I wonder if 
it were required to use inexpensive throw away liners it would make a 
difference in the cleanliness of the contents. The first objection I can 
think of is 'why not wash the liner? Any ideas?
