    I also love jars 
 of any kind! I am a canner but the vintage or pretty ones hold a special place in my heart and home. I use them to hold flowers, utensils, with mixes for gifts, toothbrush holders in the bath, to serve drinks. I love some of the additional ideas you’ve given me.

    • Mary Metsker
      April 28, 2023 at 8:50 am

      Mary, what a beautiful post. It is an excellent reminder that each of us needs to do our part to help the pollinators. The jars are beautiful. I have and still use some old canning jars that belonged to my mother. I do not can in them anymore, but I do use them for other things. Thank you for the beautiful that you share.

    I know your love dishes and flowers, but you’re right, you love jars too.
    I will use 1/2 jars with oatmeal mix and 1/2 for savory soup mix. Then I will take 1 of each to shut ins

  3. Ruth Miller
    April 28, 2023 at 6:33 am

    Morning-my daughter makes overnight oatmeal breakfasts and I would like to do that too so that is what I would use them for. My friend just told me yesterday that she makes marmalade. I love marmalade (like Paddington) and I want her to teach me how to do that so that would be another way to use them. They are extra cute with the bee motif. I always love it when you put the items at the bottom but I never before read the line just above it. From now on, if I do order, I will do it that way.

    April 28, 2023 at 7:06 am

    I love the way you layered the jar full of lovely flowers with the plate and wood circle… I pinned it of course! I am already a subscriber and follower of your beautiful website. I would use these jars for cool summer lemonade… perfect for the summer heat here in central east Fla… spiked with local honey you bet!

  9. Jennifer H
    April 28, 2023 at 7:06 am

    I’ve been a subscriber for a long time, you always have the best giveaways. I would use the jars for decorating with in some shape, form or fashion.

    Adorable bee pollinators Ball jars!🐝
    My first thought is to fill these bee jars with honey and then when the honey has been eaten up, fill them with bountiful beautiful bouquets of wildflowers!🐝🌾

    Couldn’t “bee” happier to have a few of these buzz their way here for our children’s garden and outdoor classroom garden party. Would make such amazing table decorations for the flowers the kids have grown from seed. We will be hosting an early literacy fund raiser in September/early October to raise funds for PALS Play & Learn Early Literacy program at our library here in south side Va. A set of bee jars would bee just right!!
    Here I must thank you for all your wonderful ideas! It’s always a pleasure to drop in and learn.

  13. April 28, 2023 at 7:14 am

    One can NEVER have enough jars! I have a lush yard full of camelias, azalais, hydrangea and misc other flowers. I am an avid flower arranger and when I go out to gather for arrangements I always seem to have enough for several arrangements. I love sharing the joy of my yard with my elderly friends or surprising someone on their birthday or even a just because day! Your bee jars would add nicely to the beauty of my arrangements.

    In the grade school classroom~ Student Buddy sticks for choosing a buddy to work with. Idea writing or group/individual morning meeting talking sticks. Pencils. Flowers.
    In our home~ Flowers. Sand and outdoor candles. Make up brushes. Tooth brushes

  15. DEBORAH
    April 28, 2023 at 7:21 am

    I would use the jars for flower displays.

  16. April 28, 2023 at 7:35 am

    I saved the July 4th ideas. Love them!
    As for using the jars – I would give them to my daughter – she and her family are all “bee” fans – Georgia Tech people. They would love them, and she is very clever in her decorating and and they entertain a lot. She would put them to great use I am sure probably for beverages while they watch football with friends.
    As much I love mason jars too, I am very allergic to the bee ones – I am a UGA Bulldog! Ha!! :)

    April 28, 2023 at 7:35 am

    ❀ these! We use caning jars for everyday drinking glasses in our home since our early years in the ‘80s. An older neighbor couple who excelled at comfortable hospitality always did and we so admired them we have ever since.

    Along with using them for flowers I can see a couple in my sewing room! Buttons in bottom and a pincushion on top!

  21. Cindi
    April 28, 2023 at 7:41 am

    I am also a jar lover! Very few jars that enter my house, leave my house.đŸ€Ł I would use the bee jars for crafts, for candles for the porch, for the canning I do
oh the list is endless! I pinned the jar picture and the candle instructions. Peace!

  22. April 28, 2023 at 8:02 am

    Love my Mason Jars
I use them mostly for canning but also for flowers and other food

    What would i use the bee jars for she asks. Flowers! The charm of the bee design plus the flowers from my cutting garden = perfection!

  24. April 28, 2023 at 8:03 am

    I pinned the Patriotic On the Porch! That looks exactly how I use my jars and my tiered tray! Again, GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! đŸâ€ïžđŸ‡ș🇾

    I love jars and old milk bottles. I use jars to store food in, much cuter than a folded over bag with a clip on it! And better for freshness.

    Hi Mary ~ buzzing with excitement about all the different ways those new Ball jars could be used. Thinking about what’s coming up first is Mother’s Day. I love to host a dessert get together for my family that night. I think I’d use them for pretty vases of flowers placed here and there on our buffet table. Countless other ideas are swarming around in my brain ! Hugs, Dorinda

  28. Kathy Menold

    • Martha W. Franks
      April 28, 2023 at 8:49 am

      You’ve given so many happy ideas! My first thought is vases, second for iced tea. Pinned this so I can use some of your other ideas.

  31. April 28, 2023 at 8:29 am

    Oh Mary, what bee utiful jars! I grow pineapple in south Florida and always have enough to can my pineapple preserves. These jars would be so pretty with the preserves. I too am a gardener and just love your presentation of flowers, always inspiring and beautiful.
    Thank you for keeping us smiling.
    Smiles, Sue

  32. April 28, 2023 at 8:31 am

    I love jars too Mary, and these are so pretty! I love both designs, what fun! I love to use jars to hold snacks and cookies, they stay fresh forever! I like to use jars for desserts, makes serving so easy. And of course for flowers, I love your pretty garden bouquet and all the multiple ways and things you’ve created with jars!

  33. Cheryl
    April 28, 2023 at 8:34 am

    April 28, 2023 at 8:51 am

    I am crazy for all varieties of Mason jars…
    These are the nicest I have ever seen especially since they honor our struggling bee population!
    I love to can vegetables but these would have to be put to use for serving honey sweetened iced tea. I am hoping to have an abundance of honey this summer since my daughter is a blooming beginner bee keeper…she is starting this spring with two hives she has been preparing during the winter,
    I would love to find a bee skep beverage dispenser like the one you display…any clue where I could purchase one?

    Mary, Your mixed bouquet with peonies is beautiful. I do enjoy seeing all the different ball jar designs and uses. You provide us with many different ideas and we thank you for them. Every time I see bee items at a store, I think of you! You’re a great ambassador for the pollinators. Happy Friday! Clara❀

  46. April 28, 2023 at 9:15 am

    I too collect jars; antique as well as new. I choose each one based on the character and features of the jar whether it be a blue tinted one with zinc lid, or an unusual design. My pantry is walk-in with shelving along one wall so that I can visualize all of my staples in-you guessed it- my jars. Sometimes I just stand there and look at each one and admire the way I can clearly see everything that I have in one glance.

  47. Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors
    April 28, 2023 at 9:21 am

    Mary, you have created so many gorgeous displays using jars! I am swooning over all the pretty dishes and gorgeous floral arrangements. I love to use jars for sipping sweet tea and arranging flowers. These bee jars are precious! I hope you have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!

  48. Marilyn
    April 28, 2023 at 9:33 am

    Love, love mason jars! They are my go-to for flower arranging as I love that look and there is nothing more soothing than a vanilla candle flickering in a mason jar. I also use them for storing left-overs. You can easily see what is contained in them, and there is no food staining unlike plastic.

    Thank you for inspiring us with your creativity!!

    Marilyn

  49. Allison Knight
    April 28, 2023 at 9:34 am

    Love your flower displays! That’s a tough question. I would use one for showing off on my counter, one for flowers and possibly transfer jelly to one. I want to make coffee jelly so that’s a possibility too. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful ideas for using jars :) I tried a few of them myself and a few favorites are for flowers, iced coffee, and homemade jam :)

    I love Mason jars. I do put up stewed apricots each year that we get apricots on our trees—not this year sadly due to a late March freeze. However I use the jars to hold little bouquets from our garden to take to elderly or “shut in” friends when I visit them.

        I love the bee jars much like your bee glasses and flatware. Earlier, I was saying I needed jars for my floral glass marbles, but your trifle recipe might come first. Long time subscriber. Pinned it all.

    Buzzzzz I just planted alot of plants to attract bee, butterflies, hummingbirds.
    I do and would use them for vases and your yummy desserts.

  85. April 28, 2023 at 12:55 pm

    Love the bee jars. I would use them for serving one of your yummy layered desserts or salads. Otherwise, maybe a vase for wildflowers.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the bee designs!!! So important to keep our awareness of how their busy buzzing lives really make a difference. I would use these to put together beautiful floral displays and as storage containers for the dry goods that I buy in bulk. Thank you for thinking of the bees and of us with the generous offer, Mary. LOVE your posts too! So creative and color filled.

  88. April 28, 2023 at 1:19 pm

    How lovely! I am a long time e-mail subscriber to your blog. Thank you for the chance to win these adorable jars! What would I do with them? One of my daughters somehow raises a giant garden each year on top of a 16 or more hr. a day/7 day a week job. She cans her food and would love these. Thank you!

    I would use them for canning vegetables and fruits especially this time of year. I subscribe by email and love your blog and posts. I am sorry of old fashioned in the sense of canning and preserving things. I am disabled and homebound so this is now part of my hobbies.

    Pinned the watermelon mojito. Love the bee jars and I love using them for flowers. In the past I have used mason jars for gifts filled with the following: cookie mix , body scrub , make up and I use them for silk flowers also.

  100. Susan Gresik
    April 28, 2023 at 4:13 pm

    Great post I would use some for food and some for flowers. And I’m sure I could find other uses. I do like the idea of using them for drinks too.

  101. April 28, 2023 at 4:26 pm

    Such great and classy ideas, Mary, thanks so much. I use jars for flowers as do most of the people replying but my most fun way is to use them in still life set ups from which to paint my watercolors. Also I’d use them in Monday art class to demonstrate how to paint stems through glass and water.

  102. Susan
    April 28, 2023 at 4:41 pm

    I would put flowers in them to show off the bee design! I love them!

    Oh those are some cute jars! I love table scaping and no doubt they’d make their way as drinking glasses and or flower containers. I really need them to complete my
    Accessories! I also make freezer jam and wouldn’t they make the cutest gift container for some of it?!!! Please pick me! Im a Pinterest & IG follower. Love everything you do!

    April 28, 2023 at 6:03 pm

    Mary – love this post and everything “bee!” Would love to have a set of the jars. I’d use them mostly for flowers but might even use them for serving sweet iced tea!! Would love to know about the precious plate with bees that you have the jar sitting on!!! I’m a long-time follower and love everything you do! You’re such an inspiration!

  105. Betty Mosteller

    • Cheryl D Foley
      April 28, 2023 at 6:12 pm

      I would set these in the window and put flowers in them, or herb cuttings. It would be simple and beautiful.

    April 28, 2023 at 6:13 pm

    I too love any type jar but mason jars are my favorite. These are so cute and Ive not seen them before. Would use them for flowers mostly but also foods. We are in good company because Napoleon liked bees as well. The fabric on his chairs is beautiful. Thank you for the chance.

  107. Doug & Connie Marrs

  111. Janet
    April 28, 2023 at 8:08 pm

    Ohh, I love these jars! I like to keep my Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and walnuts in mason jars. I also keep sea glass and “special sea shells” in mason jars, but aren’t all shells special? I keep fresh pack dill pickles going most of the summer in my jars as well as some quick pickled onions to put on salads and sandwiches. A few years back there were no bees in my gardens. I was hand pollinating my cucumber blossoms just to get some cucumbers
but luckily bees have made a come back in my yard! Thanks Mary for your inspiration!

  112. April 28, 2023 at 8:35 pm

    I love these Jars!! I just started keeping bees this year! Would love some of these to fill with honey.

    I will admit it, I have fetish for jars. I love the bee Mason jars and I know they will soon be a collectible item. Flowers in canning jars bring back memories from my childhood. My Grandma and I went on walks and gathered Black-eyed Susans for our tea parties.

    Mary, your blog has been a favorite for years because of the wonderful variety of ideas and the beautiful photography! I too enjoy jars, and am happy to have some of my grandmother’s aqua Ball and Mason jars. Your bee jars would make perfect vases, and I would enjoy sharing some of my garden flowers in one or two with a friend or a shut-in. Thank you for the beauty you continue to share!

  119. Donna

    First I am a long time subscriber to this wonderful blog and have pinned this to my Mason jars Pinterest board.
    What I would do with the beautiful jars is gift them to my daughter and grandkids. My daughter is homeschooling her 3 children and much of her curriculum focuses on nature and science. Right now they are doing a study unit on pollinators and insect diversity in our state. This would be an awesome way to say thank you for the bee flower garden they have planted. 🐝 đŸŒŒ 🌾 đŸŒ»

    I also love anything “bee”. So of course I would love to win either of the bee jar sets.
    I really liked your post about making the bee napkin rings. They were so cute and you saved a bundle making your own. I’ve followed you for years and have made many recipes you provided and drooled over many of your tablescapes. You’re so talented. Thanks for providing all the beautiful inspiration.

    The bee jars have me weak in the knees! They are the “bees knees”! Haha.
    I hope I can find them if I don’t WIN them. I already have the galvanized jar lids purchased and now I’m waiting for more of my flowers to mature so they can be cut. I’m also learning about the best flowers to dry and I think a dried arrangement would be adorable in a bee jar.

  136. April 30, 2023 at 2:04 pm

    Hi, Mary,
    You are the “Bee’s Knees”. So many clever ideas. I am beesotted.
    On a beeutiful summer day, I would serve the Mojitos in the jars and then use them to collect honey from my hives. BTW. I just discovered Pinterest due to pinning one of the photos on your site.WOW!! Bee still my heart, so many wonders. Thanks for your ever uplifting posts.

    I came across your blog during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season and have been an avid reader since. Such beautiful ideas and postings. I love that you include where some key items were purchased. Gifts of flowers or preserves would be top on my list for using the “bee” jars, but I love some of the other very inventive ideas in the comments. (I have pinned one of the pictures you included in the post.)

    Absolutely Everything!
    I collect vintage glass jars, especially canning-type jars with American western-attached stories (Wyoming is my home). I also support and help sell friend’s honey throughout the summer months at Farmer’s Market. I’m glad you gave us the Amazon reference(s) as well. Many Thanks!

    Oh my goodness, everything is so beautiful from the the plates and jars, down to the straws!! I’d definitely use the jars for flowers. I love the way they look in on summer table, next a open window dressed in lace. Dreamy. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I have been canning fruits and vegetables since my Mom taught me when I was very young. I grow a large garden every year and put up all kinds of produce. We also have raised honey bees and I’m working on marketing a tomato soup. I would use the beautiful bee jars for canning, honey and/or as a vase for arranging flowers. I would also use them on the table for drinking glasses. They could also be filled with dry goods or candies for gifts. Just love the bee design on the jars!

  142. Linda L Hovgaard
    May 1, 2023 at 12:12 pm

    I pinned your Ball Jar Bouquet to my Flower Vases board and your Keepsake Honeybee Mason Jar collage of photos to my Beeutiful board.

  143. May 1, 2023 at 1:33 pm

    Oh wow! These are great. I’m actually working on a bee post since May honors our fantastic pollinators. I’ll admit I have quite the jar collection as well. I use mine for flowers, decorating and drinking all the time! The bee design would be a wonderful addition. I would probably gift some to friends with flowers from my garden (did a post recently on this too). Thanks for then opportunity. Have a bee-autiful day. XO- MaryJo

    I love bees and have some beautiful bee glasses but I would definitely regift these to my brother and SIL bc whenever we drive up the two hours to visit them or my mom (they live on the lower level of her house) they always come upstairs and serve us cold drinks in Mason jars!

  145. Deb
    May 1, 2023 at 6:49 pm

    Such cute jars and a reminder to all of the importance of the bees. I can think of so many ways to use them. Enjoy as a vase but also often use mason jars for leftovers since I don’t use plastic containers.

  146. May 1, 2023 at 9:21 pm

    Love the idea of the layers of berries, angel food, whipped cream, and cream cheese desserts for this coming summer. So I will be stealing your idea for my summer holiday guests if I win the jars.
