we are in a little dire situation; we will be harvesting our honey tomorrow, and we do not have enough food-grade containers (plastic buckets) to store it (temporarily, as it has to ' cure' for several days until we can pack it in glasses ).
I know that bakeries get these buckets for cream, butter and the alike -and they throw it away. Unfortunately, the bakeries that I have visited here in Zurich with my limited German tell me that they do not ' manufacture', so they don't have these buckets.
Any tip on where I could find a ' manufacturing' bakery where I could buy them? All of our attempts to buy in Zurich have been in vain. All selling is made ' online' and the buckets come from Germany...in 10 days!
Thanks Nick! i also looked in obi, baumaxx and the alikes - unfortunately, the buckets are not labeled ' food grade', so we cannot use them for the honey.
I have found food-grade ' fass' in Jumbo, but the spits that they hold are for more liquid fluids, so we might put the honey in... but no way to make it flow out!
In the same vein swisshoney.ch, who sells domestic honey will have the same need as OP, and maybe a few buckets to spare. You can search by proximity.
Alternatively Kanton Zug's (Zürichs) Bieneninspektorat, the overseeing body. They will know who has lots of bees as every beehive needs to be registered.
