If its not sealing around the dripper wouldn't the honey or whatever is inside this jar be exposed to the elements & dry-out or perhaps attract bugs?

Your correct that bugs can enter however mine doesn't dry out likely because I use it daily. If it's kept in a closed cupboard I'd say bugs are not an issue but yes it is open to the elements.

Honey can crystallize, but that's not an experience I have had with it. And I've never had an issue with bugs in or around my honey jar.

It is possible, because it is exposed, but I haven't had to much of an issue. Some brands of honey I have gotten have crystalized in it, but I have seen that also happen in sealed jars so I don't really count that against the jar itself. If you put a jam or something else in it I could see a possible drying out situation. If you use it for honey, and see the honey crystalize just put the jar in a bowl of hot water and it clears up in a few minutes (don't microwave it-I was told it kills the honey's enzymes).

Honey doesn't' dry out or go bad so that's not an issue. I can see ants being an issue if you have that problem, but I don't have bugs or ants so we have not had any issues like that. Mine sits on the countertop where I use it for tea and coffee. Never had an issue. Hope that helps.

I read somewhere that some liquid might be left in the container because the wick doesn't go all the way down.Their website has a lot of informationfeliway.com

It would have to be engineered to go into the hole just enough so that it blocks the flow of honey, but not so far that the dispensing mechanism would pop it out. My guess is it would be a small annoying part that would be difficult to clean and very easy to lose.

I think J.R.gave the answer that I understood to be the case. It needs activation with heat and circulating air to be effective. A sealable plastic container would not provide that. Your better option for a sealable plastic container and temporary use is another type of desiccant like the beads in a jar.

No, the jar isn't sealed, there is a safety cover over the open jar that you take off before using the first time.

I don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

I have only used the pourer for oil and vinegar. In my experience the pourer does not leak. I have not gotten drops of liquid around the pourer to attract insects.

The jar has a label on it that says it is for "dry storage only." Therefore, any moist or liquids should not be stored in the jar. I have no idea why. I bought this to brine chickens but now am returning it because of this label.

The honey is an amber color. I have found that keeping this honey in a Mason jar is good for its consistency, and perhaps even its color. The glass jar will also prevent the 'hardening' effect that one experiences with honey in plastic bottles.

There is a soft rubber seal around the lid which if tightened ought to prevent moisture getting in/out. I have not tested this however, it is just m impression from inspecting the container.

I found just sitting the jar on a plate or small bowl is enough to keep honey from flowing out. Fill this way and screw top on and there is minimal mess. Just don't lift until top is on.

Putting the correct amount of wax in the wax holder should prevent dripping. I have had no experience with the wax burning.

Thank you for asking. I have been keeping it in the pantry and it seems to be just fine. I also put some in a jar with a tight lid so I could see if there would be any difference. I live in a very dry area so there is no problem with moisture. I'm not sure what to do if there is high humidity.

Since it is made of glass, probably not. Warming the honey or using a thinner honey would work.

If sealed properly, these bags will not come unsealed. Personally, I prefer to make a wide seal. I do not think you could do a gallon of liquid in this bag and be able to seal properly because it is liquid. I would put your honey in another container then seal.

Possibly it got contaminated either by dipping out of it with a utensil that was not completely clean, or if you left it open or didn't close it tightly after each use. My ghee from this company hasn't had that problem at all and it can take me up to a month or more to use a jar. I don't refrigerate it, and I have never had that happen.

Possibly get liquid in the sealing compartment. Be sure it is completely clean and dry
