Topic: [WTS] Honey Caramels - page 6. (Read 50971 times)
honey roasted almonds time!
Its been a psycho-crazy busy summer!
Finished with extracting honey for the year and got a very good crop! One of the boys put some honey in the County Fair and won 1st place. It went on to the State Fair and won 1st place again.
We have been testing out a Ginger honey caramel this week, and will have it up on the website within the week. So far everyone who has tested it for us says it is their new favorite honey caramel.
Its made from grating the ginger root and throwing it in with the honey when we make the caramel.

Currently attending Washington State University's Beekeeping course / Queen Rearing class. The real purpose of the trip was to work with some of the researchers here and use their facilities to artificially inseminate bumble bee queens.
Looks like we have just accomplished the first artificial insemination of a bumblee bee ever!
Next week will be camping in the Cascades and Olympic National Parks collecting and identifying bumble bees. (Yes, we have permits). Then heading down to Oregon to sample a few places there.
Recently had a good amount of rain in Northern Utah and expecting a decent late season honey flow. This late season honey is some of my favorite.

pmed needs some almonds 
Got them made and shipped today.
pmed needs some almonds
We tell the stores that carry them not to keep them over a month. Once they are out of our hands, we can't control the environment they are in, (heat, humidity, stored next to something with orders like onions...). Thus the 1 month expiration suggestion.
Trust me on this one... They won't last a whole month.
I ended up having to put mine in the fridge. Texas heat was making them too soft. And, yes, get the almonds. They are to die for.
Thanks again guys for a great product.
A historical event finally happened!!
We have had a "We take Bitcoin" sign at our booth for our local farmer's market for 3 years now.
The first year people asked "What is that?"
The second year people said "I have heard of that, how does it work?"
And finally last week we had someone visiting the booth and was about to buy some goodies with fiat and then saw the bitcoin sign. "You take bitcoin!?"
It was his first purchase and our first transaction at the Farmer's Market with bitcoin.
The boys had decided long ago that the first person to pay with btc that we would double his order. Needless to say, the guy was extra happy to get some extra goodies.

Just wanted to post a quick review of this. I got the plain and raspberry caramels. Also got a 4oz jar of honey.
Was quick shipping, and very good. Already planning on my next order to try some of the other flavors.

BTC price was around $5 when we started.
Last Bitcoin Black Friday and most of December was our most busiest time ever. BTC price then was over $1000/ btc. Those were some really cheap candies at today's prices.

inteerested in roasted almonds and lip balm btw you ship to asian countries ?pm me with details
I have received my order, it was much faster than I anticipated.
It was a pleasure doing business with you and I will order again in the near future. (your products are great gifts!)
Also, the packaging looks extremely nice, good job on that.

They are pretty stable and if kept in a sealed container, should last well beyond a month... but better to consume early. They are not intended for food storage.
The honey on the other hand can probably last for centuries... And if you are going to keep it for centuries, I would recommend storing it in glass, not plastic or metal.
I need to find that old bag of caramels and give it a taste... they got to be three years old by now...
We make new batches 2 to 3 times a week, so they are usually 1-2 days old when we send them out.
This week we have made 3000 honey caramels. Much busier week than normal!

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
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.
Here you go
