Subject: Hello (An E-mail from Japan Earthquake Victim)
Dear Klausesbees:
Hello. My name is Kimiko Yano, Japanese. I bought some honey your shop last November at downtown in L.A. You know, We had huge earthquake Unfortunately my home town Miyagi has damaged seriously. After earthquake, I spent home alone without water and electricity. Obviously, I didn't have enough food. Meanwhile, my soul was healed your sweet honey.
I guess it's not easy recovery like we used to.
Anyway I'd like to tell you "Thank you"
If our mind is relax, we will go to L.A. again, and I'd like to see you. Please keep your mind about me.
Best regards. Kimiko Yano

Hello Erika,
Your story is one I enjoyed telling. And your honey has been the best thing ever!! I’ve shared it with as many people as I can and they can’t believe the wonderful taste. Thanks for caring for the bees and sharing their reward with all of us. !
Armando V.

Subject: MAIL-ORDER HONEY
Hello Erika, I am looking forward to receiving the honey, and thanks soooo much for the sticks you have included. Since I gave my father in law a taste of your honey some 2 years ago, he has refused all other brands! So now, every time someone goes back to the Philippines, first on the list of things to bring KLAUSESBEES HONEY!!!!!

Klausesbees,
This is by far the BEST tasting honey I have ever had. I'm making my granola tonight as a matter of fact and using your honey. Nothing else would make it taste as good. NOTHING. Love seeing you at the street fair in Monrovia.

Klausesbees,
Thank you so much for your dedicatation to such a wonderful product.
We purchased the 12oz jar of the Woody Blue Curl last night at the Monrovia Farmers Market and my family is in love with it, We'll see you next week so we can purchase a larger container.

Subject:your honey
Dear Klausesbees:
I'm not generally inclined to write fan letters, but a couple months ago I bought some of your sage honey at the Thursday night Hollywood Farmer's Market - and it really is a marvelous product!
I don't even like honey very much, in fact, but I find myself scooping up teaspoons of your sage, daily.
I'll be back to buy more, and I'll try different flavors too - but until then, I do want you to know how much I (well, we) appreciate your creating something so wonderful.
Cordially,
Sar

The honey tastes great and it is helping me greatly for my allergies, it is better than Claritin in the natural way
Thanks so much,

Subject: Thank you for the beeswax
What great timing – I just made some lip balm yesterday with your wax, and it came out wonderfully. The wax has such a lovely scent – when it was melted, it smelled so heavenly I kept thinking about making candles! I’ll definitely be back for more wax and honey.
Thank you again!

I did check out Klausesbees. I must admit as a result of you I am paying much greater attention to bees & the problems that bees & beekeepers are faced with. Through your art I've been getting quite an education. I thank you for that.

I have heard through the GOOGLE web search that you and Klaus are quite the popular ones in the Farmer's Market. A girl scout troop visited your site and spoke very highly of your booth and of course you and Klaus were well acknowledged.

Subject: your honey!
Hi, I have received my order in perfect condition and already tried all the products. Everything is excellent! (Note: You wrapped the honey jars in "the Pink Sheet" the Financial Times! I really enjoyed looking at the pages. I use to subscribe back in the 1980s.) I found you via the links at the California Beekeepers Association which I located via the National Honey Board. I was specifically searching for locally grown, raw, honey. The locally grown was very important to me because I am experimenting attempting to get some relief from environmental allergies -- grasses, trees, pollen. I've been very allergic my entire life. I've been through desensation injections years ago with mixed results. Trying raw, locally grown honey was very recently suggested to me by a coworker who is probably very tired of hearing me wheeze, cough, and sneeze my way through every workday. She worked with someone years ago who had a doctor suggest this as a solution to them and they received some relief. I started using your products Thursday night, as soon as I unpacked them. Honestly, it is subtle at the moment but I don't feel quite so congested. I am hopeful!
I am so glad I found you. Thank you again, - Karen Holley

Subject: Re: Your fabullous honey
The jar of honey that you generously gave to me is finally gone. I ate most of it one spoonful at a time, straight from the jar. It was some of the most wonderful honey that I've ever had, and again I thank you very much for your generosity. Each spoonful was like a yummy little hug of love.
Thanks, Klaus!

Thank you so much for the sage honey. It is very good and I love eating the honeycomb (but I think the alfalfa is sweeter)
