Just pulled 260lbs yesterday and got into buckets waiting to be bottled. I sold some today for $12 bottled in 2 lb queenlines. The bottles cost $1.00 each w/ lid so I guess I'm at 5.50 a pound. Last year I sold out selling 3# for the same price with in days. I figger everything else has went up, so why should my bees not get a raise?
Um? LOL, how are the bees going to get the raise??
5.50 is low.

How much are you getting? I get $6 per pound gross like VolunteerK9.

Can't keep enough at $7.00 a pound here is ECA.
$5.25 lb whole sale
$7.00 online, and elsewhere. 5 or 6 bucks to friends if I don't give it to em.
How many cups of honey equals a pound? 1 or 2?

I'd like to know what that conversion factor is as well. I pack mine up in quarts, pints and 1/2 pint jars.
I THINK one pint is one pound...
1. If you want to know how much the honey in your jar weighs (and you should know...many states require honey to be sold by weight), then weigh it. A pint of honey does not weigh one pound.
2. If one reads this thread (and similar ones on this and other forums), one will note that no one ever says, "I made a mistake and priced my honey too high, and now I'm stuck with it because no one will buy it."

Very good point.
A pint of honey weighs close to 20oz.
