A guy across the river comes and removes swarms for me almost every spring. he uses them in glass for honey with combs and plastic for just honey.

Status: offline 		I bought one at a flea market with both the embossing and paper label.  Let me do some looking and I'll try to post a pic.  May take a little while to go through the barn, but it's in there somewhere.  Seems like they were sold at some tourist spot somewhere.
