I will be attending.

Speakers arrived today and they work great.  Tested them tonight with Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Green Day, and Beethovin while we worked on today's honey orders.
I don't remember the prices, but BitcoinStore was cheaper than Amazon, and shipping wasn't very much either.

Thanks guys.

Its too bad their website has been down for half a day right when they are getting some good press.

Edit: They are back up.

At the moment I have the socks I need.  But I am looking for some type of holographic sights such as these:

Looking for a range finder too.

Might the BitcoinStore start selling some electronic sporting goods in the future?

Thank goodness no! 

The store orders are once or twice a month.  The last couple weeks we only had two small orders.

Someone just sent an email asking if we were still making caramels...

Yes we are.  We had 11 orders this week (8 with bitcoin), and an order from a store for 1300 caramels.

Next week we will be getting read for a "Meet the Producers" event in Park City.

Eagerly waiting for a warm day to check the bees. 

Just placed my first Bitcoinstore order.

Looking forward to finally having some nice computer speakers at the kitchen so we can listen to some Grateful Dead concerts on Internet Archive while we sit around the table rolling honey caramels

I've been hoping Tucker would write something about bitcoin for awhile.  The link to the article made my day.


Two of my kids signed up for a class with the Mises Institute a few months back. I called and asked if they were going to mention bitcoin in the "What is Money" section.  I also mentioned that the boys had a little business and that a good portion of their transactions used bitcoin.  I told them that I hoped the class would address this new form of "money" and how it fits in with an increasingly digital world.

A uncapping tank and a motorized extractor.

Raw honey makes both go better.

My siblings and I grew up milking goats and supplying the whole neighborhood with raw milk and chicken eggs.
Everybody was happy and healthy...  Good thing we didn't know about government's concern for us... otherwise we all might have ended up sick and dead...or in jail.

Looking back...we should have been selling that stuff instead of giving it away.

We are going to repeat the same special we did last year for Valentine's Day... 

Every order will get a free Beeswax Lip Balm.
If any 3 times are ordered, we will include a free Beeswax Lotion Bar, plus the Lip Balm.

Also, USPS shipping prices have increased slightly the end of January...If using bitcoin, we will use the old shipping prices until Valentine's Day.  Fiat orders will have current shipping prices.

If you would like a red ribbon tied around the honey caramel boxes, just let us know and we will do that.




Its been pretty cold this winter and we fear we might have some heavy bee losses!

I wouldn’t call it a gold mine, but from Bitcoin Friday to Christmas, we were quite busy with a mix of bitcoin and fiat orders.  It was enough to encourage us to continue this insane business another year.  We make enough to cover expenses, and have yet to be paid any wages in these past 5 years.  Any profits we make go into purchasing more bees and equipment…which is a slow process in that we don’t want to take any loans.  Luckily this is a part time project.

The real value we (wife and I) get out of this is that the kids work their butts off and are learning various things about running a business (and not living on the dole).  The plan for this year, is that the kids will get paychecks (wife and I will continue to volunteer as slave laborers).

Of course with btc exchanging over $20 at the moment...maybe this is better than a gold mine


Back to the OP:


Most perfumes give me headaches, so that is my reason I wouldn't purchase perfume.  The one exception is Hoppes #9

I just received #4 and #5 today.  The mailbox was wet and snowy, but the wrapping kept the magazines dry.

Just a quick update:

Those that ordered in the last couple of days to get the free chocolate/honey caramel/pecan turtles...all have been shipped.
We stayed up last night and got them done.  Dropped them off at the Post Office a few minutes ago.

We are heading up into the mountains to build snow caves.  We will be back tomorrow afternoon (I hope) and then I will send each of you your tracking numbers.

Today is our 1 year anniversary of when Bees Brothers started accepting Bitcoin!

To celebrate, we want to offer a special.  For any orders we receive in the next 24 hrs or so, we will include a free Honey Caramel Turtle.  The turtles are made with honey caramel and pecans, dipped in milk chocolate.  We don't sell them often, but when we do, they are gone pretty fast! When we sell them, its for $3.50.

To receive the free Honey Caramel Turtle, orders need to be done with bitcoin.

Just got back this morning from the 4-Day Rifle Class at Front Sight.
I couldn't find any ammo before I left, but Stockpile Defense had ammo they sold only to students, and only enough for the class you are taking.  I paid $264 for 460 rounds of 5.56.

7.62x39 was $329 for 460 rnds.

If these prices keep going up, I'm going to have to go back to my childhood days and just throw rocks

I assume you are looking for a used dewar and not new.

If you want a new dewar, I have several sales reps from various companies that usually give me much better pricing than what is listed.
Many of them are restricted on selling to private individuals, but in the past, some have helped me acquire equipment for personal use, with the better pricing.

I had to go down there to drop something off, but I had to stand in the long line to ask the question, but there were several neighbors in the line and some of them knew others in the line and it almost turned into a block party.  One person asked how our bee business was going and everyone else had no idea about Bees Brothers.  Several said they wished they knew about us before they bought all their Christmas gifts, then the conversation turned to bitcoins and everyone in the line got some basic lessons about it. Fun times.

Glad that package made it on time.



Happy New Year everyone!

I forgot those were not on the website.  We will get those added.
