[spinoff from another thread]

I remembered to look at bear bottles of honey at the grocery, today.

Bear bottle brands were from: Busy Bee, Springfield, Miller's, Sue Bee
and Aunt Sue (the last two being from the same company.

That was, as I recall, pretty much all of the honey brands they carried;
there may have been one brand that had on bear, but I don't remember
for sure. Some of these bear-bottle brands - a couple, at least - had
non-bear bottles as well, for their larger containers. The bears
represented the smallest containers for each brand, and in one or two
cases the next-to-smallest as well; as you went up in size, chances of
getting non-bears were larger.

The Fresh Market has bear bottles you can fill with bulk clover, orange,
or other honey.

So they're probably bare bear bottles as well...

Back when I was a beekeeper, the beekeeping supply
companies (A. I. Root and Dadant) offered bear-shaped
plastic bottles for honey.

I don't think I've ever known anyone who's kept bees.

Not many bees in the ocean, I'll grant you.

Which raises the question, why is there no aquatic
equivalent of bees? The closest thing are fish that
school, but they don't build hives, don't sting,
and don't make honey. If it makes sense for bees
to do all of that, why are there no fish species
that do that?

We're waiting for sea plants with pollen.
