You ask for the highest price that you can talk you customer into paying.   Or let the wife sell it all.

Actually the averages are in Bee Culture and American Bee Journal under world honey market.  They are broken up into sections.  Easy to read.

OK I found some info at the following link. This may be helpful to someone else. It is laced with the stats of honey sales dating back several years and actually has the average price during the first two months of 2010.
