Good point, Don. The description says 18/8 stainless steel, but caveat emptor. Here is one that's made of plastic and it is $3 cheaper...but some negative reviews say folks have a hard time getting it to fit the jar and/or ring. This one is $16, but you get 4, they are bamboo, and it looks like the wands slide through the lid, so you're not restricted to jar depth, and can slide them out to reach the bottom. There is a set of 8 for $22. The sole reviewer said that the seal where the wand goes through the lid is not tight. I don't know if the lack of a seal matters. I guess it would be easy enough to fix.
I think that I would hate having the little wand in my honey jar, especially the one that looks like it stays in the lid, what a nuisance to deal with when stirring in honey. I will stick with my plain pint jar, plastic lid , and using a regular spoon; but I am looking forward to hearing your reports once you get one, @John Brunner .
My application is that I only use a drop or two (literally that little) in a cup of tea and in a shot glass with vinegar. I'm not drizzling it on pancakes or muffins. The bear bottle is ideal, except for the mess.
Definitely treat yourself to some local raw honey. You'll never go back to that grocery store stuff that's been pasteurized until most of the flavor is gone. It's expensive, but you use less.
That could be a problem if you have ants or other bugs in your kitchen. Of course if your bottle is sticky that is also going to be attractive to pests.
I still have gallons of my own honey left from years gone by stored in glass in the coolness of the garage. What I use is either in a crock honey pot with a wood dipper, or the glass and plastic jars given to me by the friend. I sold my extractor a few years ago, but the guy I sold it to fell on the ice this winter and had to have a bunch of surgery. If I need it, I can borrow it or buy it back from him. That is stainless and allows heating coils to be wrapped around it to smooth the flow of honey into storage jars. Everything on that is food-grade stainless designed not to contaminate the honey, but I would never store honey in it long-term.
