Topic: [WTS] Honey - The Ultimate (Delicious) Store of Value (Read 2030 times)
Yummy!!! Received my order today. What a delicious deal!
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 would like a gallon of the Orange Blossom Honey.

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.
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.

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

No worries. Thank you for following up on that.
Made contact. The mom came down with an illness soon after the son left town, and so the honey didn't get shipped out until Friday (June 28th). It should be arriving in the next few days.
I'll see if I can get tracking numbers.

Any word yet on shipping?
I'm trying to get in touch with my apiarist friend. The honey was supposed to ship early last week, but with him out of town the duty of actually shipping out the honey would have fallen to his mother (the other apiarist here), whose contact information I do not have. I'll let you know as soon as I've reestablished communication and know what's going on.I hope it doesn't come to this, but if it gets to be late this week and he isn't responding, I'm willing to refund your money or do whatever else to make things right for you.

Congratulations for the very unusual marketing strategy (but highly target oriented, lol)... It definitely caught my attention.
Heh, thanks. It actually came out of a conversation with my brother. We were out raking up lawnmower leftovers, and talking about what makes people use a particular thing as money - one of us had brought up how gold (unlike e.g. rice) doesn't go bad, and he half-joking suggested that people should use weed as money, having misremembered the stash from a 2700-year-old Chinese tomb as having been "still good" when it was dug up. That reminded me of honey, which is a tad more useful and has similar urban legends about being found in tombs.Thought it'd be an interesting way to couch the commodity in a place like this

I collect different honeys and am up to my ears. But I wanted to pop my head in to say this is neat!

You can definitely get the wildflower - there's plenty left. Are you willing to send first?
I sell Precious Metals for a living and I agree, in a cataclysmic event honey will be more necessary than PM's though I still want to metal for the other side.
