The price of corn is at an all time record high. This means that the farmers that raise cattle, poultry and pork are thinning their herds as feed prices escalate. The Sasquatch family has decided to start purchasing extra meat that is one sale and repackage it in freezer bags to put away in the deep freeze. I also wish the Troll still had his honeybees, we would try to buy some from him instead of that from an unknown source. '

Troll, when you sold your honey, was it sold by weight or volume?

  I sold anyway you wanted.  comb honey, comb and honey in a jar.  Mostly 1 pound bears "bear bottles you see in the stores up to 5 pound jars of honey.  One guy liked 5 pound jars with strips of honey comb in it.  He would by 2 jars.

  Ever year my bees , four hives, would produce over 400 pounds of honey.  You could see it change color as the season advanced.  Clear and white, in spring with dandelions and clover.  Brown with the soy beans and the other flowers and really dark brown if they found Sunflowers.  Each color has a little different taste.  I just mixed it together.  Also I think there is a taste difference between raw honey like mine and the cooked, 165 degrees for 1 to 2 hours, you find in the stores.

  Right now I don't know of a hobby beekeeper.  You can go into the internet and try the Indiana Beekeeper Ass. and they will tell where to find raw honey and pollen.  I think, they used to be there.

  About the beef it is going to get more expensive.  With the price of corn and there an investigation of the meat buyers fixing prices they pay for beef.  Claiming that they want to lower the meat price to the meat customer.  Yeah, like so much bullshit.

  The wife and I have started buying beef and we are vacuum packing it.  Vacuum packing, it really works.  I cleaned out the big freezer I have and found a 2 year old frozen vacuum pack, of a whole chicken.  Thaw it out, smelled good, fried good, tasted good.  There no freezer burn with vacuum packing.  Just mark the date on it and what it is.  Or you find yourself with a bunch of packages which you don't know what it is or how old it is.  I sure am buying meat now.

Check around a lot of stores will mark the meat down when the due date is up.  So what, it hasn't hurt the meat and I take it home and freeze it.  You can buy it 20 to 40% off.

  Goggle in "Indiana Beekeeper Association." When you get there, go to swarm catchers and there are phone numbers of the catchers by county, city.  If these guys don't have raw honey, I'll bet they know where you can get it.  Good hunting.
