Packers need to watch out the consumer is wising up to what they call honey.

I sell over 2 drums honey from my front door no sign no advertising just 
word of mouth the consumer is looking for non filtered honey and will 
not take any thing else. Some customers buy several gallons in 2# jars 
because they know I run out in the spring. Several other beekeepers have 
notice the same trend a close friend sells over 10 drums the same way he 
does have a sign though.

I sell the rest of my honey to other beekeepers that are doing the same 
thing supplying the consumer with what they want unfiltered honey. The 
consumer is changing there taste and it is not what is on the store shelves.

It is funny that honey in most other countries is sold candied.
