Contact Jim Steed/ POBox 948 Richmond KY (KY) 40475
 
  Mr Steed ran a seven-part article in the American Bee
  Journal, Oct 83 to Apr 84, entitled "Collecting Honey Pots
  and Other Bee Paraphernalia."  He lists sources from all
  over the US and the world, as I recall. More recently
  a woman ran the same type of article, single installment,
  in [Gleanings in ] Bee Culture (within the past two years).
  Can't give specifics because I don't subscribe to BC but
  read a friend's copy.
 
  BTW, when I attended Apimondia Nagoya 1987 Steed had me look
  up a Nipponese honeypot collector w/ whom he was making
  exchanges.
 
  Sayonara und Bonne Chance!

  PS When a visitor stopped by from Finland two years ago
  he gifted us w/ a honeypot containing honey! (We don't
  collect HPs.)  Visitors were here yesterday from TN
  but no honeypot, just honey! All this -- the upshot
  of our journal articles over the years.  Mighty small
  world.
