Bottles and Bottles

Well, Rhonda and I decided it was time to bottle up our honey we pulled. We pulled out two five gallon buckets we stored. After a brief trip to Walmart to get some glass containers, we were on our way. The last time we bottled, it was a disaster as we got honey everywhere on the floor! This time, I decided to be creative. I bought two more buckets and drilled holes in them. I then attached two cut off valves. It made life so much easier! I was able to control the flow out of the buckets into the jars thus eliminating any mess. It worked well.

To keep it short, we bottled up some five hundred ounces. We still have a buck left too.

I think next week we'll bottle up some more and get our buckets ready for the spring.
