Will Jones has honey jars for sale. They are the popular 8oz size and are 38p each. Given the weak sterling at the minute, this represents a good price and he doesn't make a profit.
If you are interested in buying some jars, please contact Will on 07380 374560

The stained glass image used as our logo is from a Canadian Stained glass company called Light Romance, onto which has been laid the RVBKA title. In March '08 their Director wrote: Hi Alan. We will be honoured if you use our stained glass honeybee on your website. Cheers, Larry @ Light Romance.
