Keep talking guys, this is quite interesting. The apiary that puts their bees on my land gives me some honey every year for the use of my land. It usually is about 2 gallons worth which is way more than I consume and my stock pile kept getting bigger. I keep telling the apiary that it isn't necessary because I'm just glad they are here to pollinate my garden.
A couple of years ago the wife of a very good friend of mine was in the last stages of cancer. The only nourishment that she could keep in her stomach was green tea sweetened with raw honey. All totaled I shipped about 5 gallons of my excess stored honey to her so she had something to eat.
