A few years ago we coordinated shipment of 5 gallon buckets of some Raspberry Blossom honey to folks around this half of the country. Shipping costs aren't cheap, but if the per pound honey cost is low enough (and the varietal special enough), then it might be worth getting some special honeys that way.

Anyone interested in trying that again sometime soon? I doubt the interest would be there for OB or Buckwheat, but if there is enough general interest, then we could check with Jeff and see what "strange and unusual" honeys he might have taking up space in his warehouse this year.

I could sell you a gallon of blackberry varietal honey produced in Oregon, the North Willamette Valley for 45 dollars and I think it would fit in a Medium flat rate shipping box at a cost of 10 bucks. If you like, I would include some cappings too for essence of the hive.

Anyone ever try to ship honey across the border? I would so take you up on this if it's not a horrendous pain in the arse.
 
@WayneB: Jeff said if there was some sort of interesting varietal honey that I wanted he'd source it for me, get it, heat it up to liquefy it (if necessary) and charge me a fair handling fee. I know he has a source for meadowfoam, don't remember the price.

Been too busy this summer to take him up on that.

If he could get meadowfoam at a good price, I'd definitely be interested in a couple of 5 gallon buckets. I want to do a large batch of a very light, dry, sparkler, and meadowfoam honey would do nicely in that.

I am out of Denver and it isn't too far for me to Ft Collins. If he is in Ft Collins, Yeah, Let me know what I can get. Primarily I have been sticking with the same honey type (alfalfa) while I experiment a bit with the adjuncts but it would be good to know the obptions.

I got a Pumpkin Hazelnut mead I want to put together in late October and over the winter a Mango, Peach (Basil), And Strawberry Oat.

So I am going to need the honey. Got your message and awaiting for when in mid oct.

I'm up for it if it's something interesting and not too expensive. I was extremely happy with wayne's last shipment of raspberry!
