BOARD MUCKER UPPER! :lol: j/k!
I'm down for some honey-swappage. We should attempt to standardize on a size.. and make it as cheap and easy as possible so more could participate. As far as sizes, how about those 2oz spice jars? Those are fairly common.
Here's the copy on the three varieties I harvested this year:
July 2007 Harvest | Blackberry,
August 2007 Harvest | Wildflower and
September 2007 Harvest | Wildflower (all pictured below, from right to left in 1st image)

Oh, and I've honey-harvest coordinated pollen collections as well:
July (this was when I first started collecting, so was a bit late and you can see the purple-loosestrife (dark) pollen mixed in with the blackberry (gray)):

I think having taste reports/critiques would be fun as well. Can be such a challenge attempting to qualify tastes and aromas with words!
Cheers,
