Container question

(1/2) > >>

UrbisAgricola:
Where do you get drums and what do you pay?  Same question for pumping equipment etc to get the honey in and out?  For honey you want to store for local sales throughout the year, how do you prefer to store?

mikecva:
I store in my honey house. My daughter stores hers in her mud room. Both are heated enough to deter crysterilization. You can get food grade buckets from most bee suppliers (Mann lake ect.). enen our local tractor supply has some.  -Mike

tycrnp:
You can get free buckets from Krispy Kreme, bakeries,  and grocery stores that have a bakery. Just let them know in advance and most are happy to save the lids too. (That's a tip I got on this forum earlier this year. )

BeeMaster2:
What TY said.
I have about 20-3 gallon buckets that I got from Publics.
Jim

Acebird:
Urbis it is hard to know what volume you are speaking of but you can get a barrel stand that has wheels and allows you to tip the barrel 90 degrees so it is horizontal.  By inserting a spigot with a valve in the large hole you can then fill 5 gallon buckets or less as you need it.
