But first...to give proper, and well deserved credit* to my fabulous friend and designer, suze, who worked on the label design and metal tag for me. After a few iterations of sizing the text to the various bottles, it was left to me to start printing, cutting, and gluing. (Needless to say not ALL the bottles are done yet, but I hope to give the lucky recipients some honey before the holidays.)
* special thanks to, of course, the bees...as well as my beekeeping mentor, Tim, who continues to support me in my expanding beekeeping endeavors.
In succession of the iterations of bringing the label components together
My first wax seal attempts- the wax kept sticking to the stamp, so I first tried putting the wax on tissue paper, but it looked kind of weird (see the black tissue paper around the seal?). note the metal bee stamp next to bottle.
Added the new label, with improved wax seal and gold string instead of ribbon
Wowee...the metal tag- this was the coupe d' etat on suze's design input. I love it!
Thanks to Aculine for the great work on the tag- and accepting my bribe of honey in exchange for a waived setup fee.
My first batch order done..
.just a few more hundred to go....

The honey is sweet and delicious. However, I have to say, that I like the delicate bottle more, the bee wax seal, metal tag and label... It is definately not what we can buy from a shop. Thank you so much for taking the time, Krista. Merry Christmas! :)
