Topic: [WTS] Honey Caramels - page 28. (Read 50771 times)

We are extending the offer for a free Beeswax Lip Balm to any order that is placed by Valentine's Day.

Thanks to all that left feedback on your orders!

Its not to late to order before Valentine's Day!  We have made some new batches of honey caramels this week and will do some others on Monday.
Hoping to get all the Valentine's orders out Tuesday morning.

Thanks.

Bitcoin businesses do it better. Great-tasting, extremely quick processing, great customer service. One of those businesses I wish I had more demand for, much like edd's BitBrew. Everyone in my family loves them.

Ill be ordering now that you ship to Canada

Shipping the box of candies to Canada was simple.  It only cost about $0.95 more to ship and a simple form to fill out.

Placed an order! My girlfriend should LOVE all this stuff for Valetine's Day. Will update once I receive it all.

I looked up some of the rules and they seem pretty simple with shipping candy to Canada.

Send me a PM and we can figure it out.

Would you offer to ship to Canada if I paid for the extra shipping or is there a customs thing that I cannot import it?

Just ordered using Paypal since I'm out of Bitcoin, order #47277709.  About to PM you concerning the honey too.

Received my order today,and nirvana! the caramels melt on your tongue with a sweet aftertaste reminiscent of, um, good stuff! The honey was a sweet delight that could not be of this planet, and the wife adores the lotion bar. Thank you for this after a crappy day at work!


Kindest Regards

A note on honey: It is rather heavy stuff so the shipping can be just as expensive as the honey…doubling the price.  If you want your honey to help you with resisting your local allergies or hay fever, then you need to get local, raw, unfiltered honey.  Eating your local honey that hasn’t been heated and filtered will contain pollen grains from the plants that are giving you trouble and will help you build up some resistance to them.  I recommend buying directly from the bee keeper to know for sure you are not getting honey that has been “packaged” locally but is mixed with honeys from other states and countries and has been heated at high temperatures (like much of what you can buy cheaply in grocery stores).

 
With that said, buying honey from different locations is really fun!  Each honey is unique and will have a variety of different flavors.  Again, buy directly from the beekeeper if you can.  We are more than happy to sell ours.


We have the following sizes:
4 oz glass jar $3.50
12 oz glass jar $6
12 oz bear $6
24 oz bear $10
32 oz bear $13

We have just over 10 hives and keep them in ours and a couple of neighbor’s backyards.  They are usually near horses, so virtually no pesticides being sprayed for several miles around.

anxiously awaiting my order any day now! Cant Wait!!!

How much for a jar of honey?

I ordered the almond, plain & chocolate flavors.  The almond was my favorite.  It had a complete candy bar taste to it and I highly recommend.  The plain was also very good.  My wife, who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, tasted the plain caramel and said, "this is excellent."  The chocolate had a very dark rich flavor, I could tell they used high quality dark chocolate.  After having tasted these, I wish I would have tried the salted.  I can see another order of perhaps almond/salted/plain/chocolate in my future.

Thanks for the orders and the reviews Maged and OgNasty!


We are not sure how long they last either.  There are no preservatives in them so the fresher the better.  We have some that we made a year ago and keep in a zip-lock bag at room temperature.  Every month or so we try a couple and so far they are fine. However, we are in Utah where the humidity is very low.  Because honey is so full of sugar, it absorbs moisture.  If they are stored around higher humidity, they won't last as long.  The high sugar content of honey also makes what moisture there is unavailable to bacteria and molds, which is why honey can last for centuries. Obviously the caramels don't do well in high heat (like left in a closed car during the summer).


For smaller gifts, we have a $3 bag of caramels that make perfect "Thank You" gifts.  We have an order next week for a wedding that wants several of the smaller caramel bags.

I just received my order! Because I was the first person to order in bitcoins, I received BOTH a 4 oz jar of honey and the lipbalm in addition to my order.

As for the caramels, like I said, I ordered raspberry and chocolate. The chocolate caramels are sweet on the outside, and bitter on the inside. It reminds me of a certain kind of chocolate bar that I can't remember off the top of my head, except better and more flavorful! Petty that they're so small compared to said chocolate bar. Guess I'll have to order more (Don't worry, the caramels are plenty big for caramels. I'd guess about one and a half mini Tootsie Rolls long, and about as wide.)

The Raspberry is a strong sweet explosion! They are not for the weak sweet tooth. If you like your sweets more neutral, go with the chocolate (or maybe the plain or almond, but I didn't order any to try, so I don't know). Luckily, I enjoy candy on both sides of the spectrum! My only complaint is that I couldn't really taste the raspberry, but that might just be because I don't have any plain caramels to compare to.

The caramels come in a clear plastic bag tied with a twist-tie, and then placed in a small thin cardboard box and sealed with a BEES BROTHERS sticker. It is perfect for ordering in bulk and then giving the individual boxes as gifts. Not sure how long they stay, though. I suspect that I'll never find out  

The best quality beeswax comes from the wax cappings during the honey extraction process.  I just made a batch of Votive and Tea Light Candles from last fall’s extraction.  The wax color is a bright yellow, full of the wonderful smell that only beeswax has.  Cleaning up the wax is extremely time consuming, so I don’t make candles very often.






The Votive candles are 2” tall and 1 ¾” wide.  Approximately 14-15 hours of burn time. (0.54 BTC each)


The Tea Light candles are the typical tea light size and burn at least 4 hours. (1.0 BTC for 6)

Shipping charges are not included.


Of course we also sell honey.

Box of assorted caramels and free lip balm received.  Items were exactly as described and packaging was excellent.  It was less than 48 hours from the time I placed my order to having the product in my hands.  Definitely a great seller.

I know "Bees Brothers" personally as he lives just a few miles away from me.

We've had business dealings in the past, and thus far, he has exhibited stellar personal service. I can also vouch for his character.

The caramels are the probably best I've had in awhile, despite not having much of a sweet-tooth.

Bumped.

If you have any concerns about buying from Bees Brothers during the first week here, they have agreed to let people use me as an escrow. If you feel this extra protection is necessary, when you PM/email them, CC me so I can create an address for you to send to.
