I bumped into a guy at the allotment today who wanted to buy honey.
he phoned me up about a year ago and then lost my number and apparently has been at the allotments half a dozen times looking for me.
I had to explain that you cannot take honey directly from the hive to sell to a customer, which surprised him greatly, and he also let me know that he just wanted to buy a jar or two a couple of times a year.
when I spoke to him on the phone a year ago I told him that when I had surplus honey I sold it to a local health food shop and they mark it up from the £4.50 to £5.99.
This guy wants to buy honey direct from my door with a 1 hour chat included in the sale.
I am not overly interested in honey sales as bee breeding is my main focus but how do the rest of you handle these situations without appearing churlish.
I certainly do not want people I have never met calling at the door looking 1lb of honey.
