The hobbyist with 3,7 or >20 hives will find a plastic bucket with a snap-on airtight lid works well, Alternately, just get one of those large metal tins often sold around Christmas filled with caramel corn and various other flavors. After Christmas they were about $3 (with popcorn) at office depot. Perhaps not completely airtight (though close), easier to open, and won't melt. (I'd avoid the caramel corn if using it for smoker fuel :) -Tim :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
