Abstract
Unadulterated and natural honey is packaged in a template by providing a plurality of templates formed from planar wood members that are vertically installed in a box-like container mounted above a beehive and providing a recess in the planar wood member that is closed on the bottom face by a wax foundation sheet where passageways lead the worker bees and excludes the queen bee to the recess for depositing the honey. The template is removed from the box-like container and installed in a box or package for retail sales and obviating the necessity of transporting the honey from the beehive to the processing plant and avoiding the steps of centrifuging and heating.
Claims5
A template for packaging honey regurgitated from bees housed in a bee hive which template is marketed, said template including a planar member having at least one recess defining an ornamental configuration formed intermediate the edges of the planar member, a wax foundation sheet attached to one face of the planar member and overlying the recess to define a pocket for receiving honey, said template operatively connected to said beehive whereby worker bees are directed into said pocket from said beehive for regurgitating honey and filling the pocket with honey and sealing the top thereof with beeswax so that the template with the honey is removed from the beehive whereby the template with the honey is packaged and defines a salable merchandise.
