I do not use antibiotics and chemicals in my beekeeping. I only use herbal medications in my hives (for Varroa and Nosema). My clients see our hives behind the hospital. I do not use heat knives to uncap. I only have pure raw honey. When clients bring in theirs pets they always ask questions about my honeybees. Many of them expressed a wish that I sell them some of my honey. We are selling some of our honey from our honeybees in my Animal Hospital. My clients don't mind to pay $10.00/lb. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
