However I will promise to buy all the "bad" honey from any grocery store that stocks the real thing. :)
Those of you who are lucky enough to be able to keep hives, I am jealous.
Clover honey, the most popular type nationwide, if properly filtered and if not allowed to get to cool, stays liquid well enough (some honeys do better? I can't remember which ones...) and has the nice light amber color most folks nowadays recognize as what honey should "look like", as far as they know.
I blame Canada. And SueBee :^)
There are many web sources regarding bee keeping nowadays...
If you have a saw which can cut or rip a board straight and regular, there are simplified hive types which can be built using scrap lumber. Just watch out for nails in the lumber when using a power saw. Where eye protection, etc.
Check this out; http://www.beginningbeekeeping.com/TopBarHiveBeekeeping.html.
By no means is that site all inclusive of top bar styles of beekeeping. Done right, they can be a good step above simple "bee having". There's even a guy in New Mexico who does some relatively small distance "migratory" & pollination with them.
One could build along those lines, and use the prepared topbars in any lightweight but snug (to both elements, and "sound") box to use as a bait trap wherever there are other bees around. Then, if one gets lucky, they can transfer the bars over to a stronger box. Swarm lures can be bought thru Dadant and other supply houses. One can use lemongrass oil too. Even lemon pledge will work for a few days.
I'd love it if they said, "here, take this junk off our hands."
