Default Found a honeyman

I saw a post on here about Craigs list, and checked it out. We have 2 farms, full of clover. So, I went to the bartering section and proposed for a beekeeper to put hives in the back in exchange for honey. I found one. We will get 1 gallon of honey a year (the going rate around here) per location. So, this year we will get 2 gallons. The price of honey has gone up the last few years, and we tend to eat it often, so this will help on the grocery bill some. (About $30 a gallon right now). He will place his hives in April.

Great mom-from-missouri!!

My first thoughts...oh, she found a feller' and then I thought, no, probably it's a handy-man guy to do her 'honey-do-list'! Funny!

Way to be creative - not to mention catchy title. Had to look just to see what it really was.

I thought you meant a sugar-daddy, too!

Congrats on finding a neat way to get free honey.
