The honey arrived today.  There was some shipping damage, which the post man was not too happy about.
I've sent you PM.

mmm I love honey, and I agree it is a good store of value.. but does Honey go bad over time or get better?

I'd heard somewhere about some honey found in an Egyptian tomb that was still edible. A couple minutes with Google turned up this:

The Egyptian Pharohs put all that they valued into their tombs and they valued honey. Honey combs were found thousands of years later inside these Egyptian tombs.

These sealed honeycombs were found to have still edible honey inside them. The honey had not gone bad. Because honey doesn't go bad.

That's the urban legend. I'm skeptical, but it's definitely the kind of story that inspires me!

Well, that's an awful shame. I'll be in touch with the apiarists - hopefully we can beef up the packaging and prevent this kind of thing in the future, and I'll see what's feasible to make it up to you.

Excellent.  More beekeepers using bitcoins!
I would like a gallon of the Orange Blossom Honey.  
I was out in Florida several times a few years ago working on a bee project and picked up a bunch of honey then.  I'm all out of it and it has a much different taste than out here in the Intermountain West.
We will make a batch of honey caramels with some of it for bitcoiners only.
Sending you a PM.

I'll post a pic tomorrow of what in my back yard  

I apoligize for not posting this at the time initially intended... Got too busy with too many things all at once...
Anyway, check out my small apiary (behive farm):


and a pic of 1 out of the 4 gallons of local honey collected in mid-June:

Linden tree honey harvest is next, probably in another week it will be ready to harvest.
