I love honesty boxes - there is a tiny proportion of our population that will abuse an honesty box, but the majority of us understand how valuable it is to be trusted by our fellow community. I’ve eaten your honey, l love it and understand that for you to continue making this honey you have to made a profit. Glad to see the beard making a return.
we use to do this in the 70s when i lived in Lincolnshire use to set up a table with fruit and veg and by T time it was gone. Agree with you most people in this world are honest.
Back when I had just a couple hives and too much honey, I could sell three cases a week at the honesty table in my driveway. It's the easiest way to sell honey for a hobby beekeeper with too much inventory
Brilliant just what i wanted ti hear, so nice to hear that youve had no problems, i will be making one tomorrow to sell some of my excess veg, got radish, chard and hopefully soon some strawberries, kale and later tomatoes, great video man and btw best welsh accent ever! 👍
@@gwenyngruffydd that's a shame but you will always get one I expect, I'm still going to go for it, don't tonk mine will be quite as nice as yours thou, really cool. Thanks for the reply
@@gwenyngruffydd oh so you won’t have that problem. I tend to find the inside can still get quite hot and I don’t want to get my runny honey to warm. Just wondering if you had the same problem
Can’t say I have. The box is kind of under a tree and has high hedges right around. And I suppose painting it white does keep some of the heat away. But I live in west Wales. It rains more than it’s sunny! 😂 Where are you from?
@@gwenyngruffydd aye was thinking that , going to try an experiment next year , poly hive , 1 foundationless jumbo with 1 foundation jumbo super , see what happens
I love honesty boxes. I found a vegetable one in wentwood forest run by a very old lady. After going to get some vegetables they little old lady was out in her garden sorting the veg patch out so I got talking to her. A bloke in his 50s was robbing from her for week. In the end she had to cover the place in cctv. U will always get the one who thinks its OK to take and not leave money.
Yes it's very sad after speaking to her she said if they are desperate for food they only got to knock my door and I would let them have it rather than steal it. Definitely more good than bad.

Thank you. Although I have had 1 person steal from the box now unfortunately.
But still overall it’s been great!

Will do! 😊👍🏻
Was bee keeping a steep learning curve to get into it?
Kind of.....but the trick is to start with a few hives and work up. It’s no different to anything else.
@@gwenyngruffydd Cheers ,the 10 calves i got after watching your video are flying bit of time involved fair enough but nice to see them thriving now
Yes the calves are a long game but worthwhile when selling time comes. 😊
How do you keep your creamed honey from overheating and going runny in your box
We don’t sell creamed honey 😄

Where are you from?
@@gwenyngruffydd Nottinghamshire . But I lived in Carmarthenshire so I’m very aware of the rain in Wales
How many hives you reckon you need to run a honesty box business chief ? I havnt got the time to go pro 😥
Between 5-10 depending how busy your road is.😊
@@gwenyngruffydd aye was thinking that , going to try an experiment next year , poly hive , 1 foundationless jumbo with 1 foundation jumbo super , see what happens
I would use foundation in all the frames 😊
@@gwenyngruffydd will book in for a day with you next year, see how pros do it 😉
😁👍🏻
Da iawn Gruffydd bydd rhaid i fi galw heibio un diwornod diolch

That’s very sad ☹️. But generally you won’t have problems. There’s more good than bad in the world 😊

Such a shame that in 7 months time you're going to be making a video about someone stealing honey and money from that very same box.
I know! ☹️ but the story is not over yet! There will be a third video with a modification to the box! 😁
