But the honey spreads out in the bottom making it harder to scrape it all out. I would like to devise some kind of way to put in a metal sheet to funnel the honey down to one end into a smaller container that sits inside the main piece. haven't figured out how to do that yet. If you have an idea pass it on to me. Also I might use a plastic bin made from a heavier gauge of plastic. The caps/honey are so heavy that it tends to buckle the sides of the container a little.<br />GarethRobertson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564514431401201303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904270599577868856.post-86013296829964110512012-08-04T11:31:22.907-06:002012-08-04T11:31:22.907-06:00Hi,

Anything you would do differently in retrospect?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />DDMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904270599577868856.post-56837026069400995062012-07-11T07:03:00.969-06:002012-07-11T07:03:00.969-06:00Sara-

I have one question - how did you cut the bottom out? Did you use a utility knife?<br /><br />Thanks very much!<br /><br />SaraSaranoreply@blogger.com
