[WTS] Honey Caramels

[Bees Brothers]

You guys willing to sell any honeycomb for bitcoins?

Yes, we have been doing comb honey a couple times this week.  One of the boys cut and packaged some comb honey just a few hours ago (11:00pm) to enter some into the county fair.  Here is a picture of some we sold today at the Gardener's Market.



The only problem you need to be aware of, is that there is a little bit of space in the packaging.  If it gets banged around during shipping, it won't look as pretty as it did originally.  We have two extra pieces we did tonight that can ship Monday.  We have been selling them at the market for $8 each for (at least) 8 ounces, and they sell out fast.  The two tonight are 10.5 and 9.75 ounces.

I had my order come in on Friday, and after sampling everything over the weekend I have to give a big A+, thumbs up to these guys! 

I ordered a pound of the honey caramels, and during email correspondence he told me how they were fresh made and shipped quickly, and now that I have them I can say that fresh candy like this makes such a difference, it tastes soooo much better than store bought candy that's been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long.  Highly recommended, if you enjoy caramel candy you should give this a try.

I also ordered a small jar of raw honey, and for the price it really is unbeatable.  At my local natural grocery store, I can buy raw honey, but seriously, it was actually less expensive to buy from these guys even after shipping than what I would pay for a similar jar of honey where I live.  The honey itself is fantastic; the flavor is perfect and to anyone who has compared raw honey to processed & mass produced honey, the difference is night and day.  Right now I'm typing this with a mug of coffee that I sweetened with a spoon of this honey.  Very delicious, to say nothing of the health benefits of raw honey.

I also ordered a bag of their honey roasted almonds, always being an almond fan.  Again, the freshness is what makes all the difference.  If you buy a bag of honey roasted almonds at the store and compare them to these, well, there is no comparison, the fresh honey on these almonds was no doubt the best honey roasted nut I've ever enjoyed.  Personally I would have preferred a bit more salt on them, they were a tad sweet, but even then I would choose these again over any other almonds. 

Their customer service was great, he even threw in a handful of extra honey caramels made from a special batch of honey he recently obtained, and they even refunded to me the small difference in shipping cost from what they expected it to be to what it actually was.  Some extra candy and the excess shipping refund were nice surprises, but even without them I would have been just as happy.

To anyone on the fence considering placing an order with these folks, do it!  They have lots of good products in their store and you can order a few at once like I did to save on shipping.  You won't be sorry.  Great job Bees Brothers!

The caramels must be even better when they're fresh, sadly shipping to here took around 1-2 weeks, so they weren't fresh for me anymore (still delicious!), and I totally agree with you on the honey, it's soo good.

Thanks for the review.  Glad you both liked them.

1-2 weeks shouldn't make a noticeable difference in freshness.  We have some that are over a year old that we check every once in a while, and they are still good, but there is a noticeable difference in freshness.  We have told the couple of stores that carry the caramels that the shelf life is 1 month.  We picked that time because we were worried about odors in the environment absorbing into the caramels (like being stored next to some garlic or something). 

High humidity is probably the biggest enemy to the caramels.  High heat makes them softer and can get really messy if they have been sitting in a hot car and are given to kids .  So far we haven't had heat problems during shipping.  That's why some of the chocolate products we don't offer until winter.

We usually work in the kitchen 3 times a week.  This way we don't have inventory to store or keep track of, and we can guarantee that everything is shipped fresh.

Ah, alright. And yeah, mine didn't melt or anything, so that's good. Some were a bit flat, not sure if that was supposed or if they are originally square, but they tasted just as good. I'm going through these caramels pretty quickly so I might place another order pretty soon =P.

I ordered a half a lb of the variety for my mother for her Birthday about a month ago, and they were incredibly good, and the shipping was very quick. (I'm late leaving feedback)

Sadly, she is on a diet, so I was forced to help her eat them  . The Chocolate were her and my favorite, they are just delicious, followed by the Almond, Raspberry, Salted, and Plain but they were all pallet pleasingly good. I forgot that she isn't the biggest honey fan, and after sampling a few, I was afraid that she wouldn't like them, because it is very noticeable that they are made of honey. But they were so good she made an exception and ate more than a few of each type. I also got the lip balm, which then ended up going to my sister, as she is the lip balm user, and she was very impressed with the quality, far beyond the beeswax lip balms that you can buy in stores (burts bees etc). I almost ended up eatting the lip balm, but decided it would be better for its intended use.

I would highly reccomend getting a 1/4th lb sampler to see which are your favorite, and then placing your 10 LB order, because your order of favorites may differ from mine. But you wont go wrong with any of them.

Ordering Honey Caramels from Bees Bros is a great way to make people on a diet hate you, and the people close to the person on the diet love you.

My package with honey and a bunch of caramels came in, great as always! Thanks!

[LifeOnBitcoin]

Okay, I'm super embarrassed. I bought four boxes of honey caramels when we visited Bees Brothers a little more than a week ago, and we have already eaten all of them. The embarrassing part is I think I'm responsible for two plus boxes by myself. They are so incredibly good! My wife and kids loved them too, and my 12-year-old son, who hates fruit, ate two of the berry ones, and loved them, without knowing they were raspberry After I told him they had berries in them, he became more skeptical. Go figure! We will definitely be reordering for holiday gifts.

Austin and Beccy bought a bunch of stuff too, and I need to ask them if they have any left. Maybe I can bum some off of them.   

We are editing footage of the Bees Brothers excursion for our Youtube channel, including some long form videos. I think everyone is going to love it.

Bees Brothers are iconic in the bitcoin community, and they deserve it!

Glad they made it to you without any problems.  I always get nervous about shipping honey by airplanes.
Thanks.

Our family all agreed that they don't want a career in movies... nobody liked having the camera staring at them, feeling like a deer in the headlight and getting tripped up on their words.... Good luck making the videos something "everyone is going to love"..

We did have fun with your visit.  That was our first in person bitcoin transaction!

And if I didn't know it, I couldn't tell that Beccy was scared of bees.

Just a quick review:

I've had half a dozen orders from Bees Bros and they continue to impress me each time. I'm not one to get addicted to things, but their almond honey caramels may change that - I'm on my second pound. Fast shipping, great packaging, delicious products.

I've sent several gifts to family/friends and they've all been thrilled with the products. I plan on having Bees Bros fulfill holiday gifts for family/friends/employees this December - hope they're ready for the demand!

Thanks Bees Brothers - you have a dedicated customer here

These are super good, I particularly like the salted ones, they are delicious but watch out if you have a sweet tooth as I ate over a pound in three days. I also bought some of the candles and they look good, but the description is what made me buy, because of the quality ingredients which are organic, is what really sets these apart. Enough of my blabbering, support this goodly family today!
