- 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

BOOTS AND PEARLS is a story of growth, self re-invention and examination; of bees and sex, partnership and business. It is Beekeeping #101 through a "hands on" approach, a day to day life in and out of the fields and bed-sheets with the city gal turned beekeep.

- 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. !

- 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.

- 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)
