Hi Bob,  Mike and all

Further to my post earlier today incorrectly under the heading  
'bearings', the same speaker also mentioned glass bottles which some  
of our members run through the dishwasher.  He said "never wash new  
bottles especially in a dishwasher.  All suppliers of bottles for  
honey, in Ontario, sell only bottles that are certified food grade".   
He mentioned that if bottles needed washing for any reason, the final  
rinse must be with chlorine bleach then air dried.  Surely similar  
regulations exist elsewhere.
