Honey Dipper

[Nitram4891]

Stayed with my wife's uncle recently and he has a honey business. Thought I would turn him a honey dipper. Walnut finished in beeswax.

I might need to get you to make me one next year when I harvest my 1st honey

That's his stuff right there, he's in central florida and has some really good products.

I'm thinking about getting a 3 or so hives after we find our new home. He said if you have 1 you might as well have 3 so you can take from a strong one and help out the weak one if one is struggling. Seems like a fun thing to get into and cool way to teach kids about nature.

I'm getting my 1st 2 hives in about a month. Looking forward to this adventure

Gosh that brings back some memories. My dad kept between 5 and 8 hives all the time. My sibs didn't want anything to do with them, but I helped him all the time. Not my fav pasttime but would dearly love to have those times back now.
I made him a few dippers but he kept them on a shelf not wanting to get them "sticky". He always said "Boy, you got five dippers on each hand. Besides if you harvest and cut the comb just right you don't need one."
Don't miss the honey, bees, or the constant sticky all that much but I sure miss him!

Good looking work Martin. Maybe my wife will get me one, so I will quit dipping my finger in the honey.

Looks great can't wait until I can get some more Sour Wood Honey, I am afraid with all this rain it may hurt the production..Keeping my fingers crossed
