Tare weight? ( without weight of the jar?)

Weight of honey without jar. So basically 1 fl oz. of honey is 1.375 oz by weight (1.375 x 16 =22)

These are recommended figure that came from bee supply mag years ago from a chart inside the cover. Of course moisture content, source etc may change from year to year and affect figures a little

In West Kentucky I sell for $7 a pound and $20 a quart jar.    I can't keep it in stock and actually limit folks to 5 quart jars at a time.   I have enough orders this year (2015) that I could sell 2 tons worth and not have enough for everyone.    I also sell 4oz Muth jars around Christmas for $4.   Makes great gifts during the holidays and for hot toddies!!! The jar price is why they cost so much.

 I've been selling mine in 8oz and 16oz plastic bottles. $8 for 16oz and $4 for 8oz....took off at first, then I think folks didn't think I had more, last month took off again...mostly just selling at mine and my wife's job. Lady emailed me today wanting $24 worth.... The GM at my wife's job, just hands her a $20 and says, "I need my honey!" what's cool, I work for an international company, I've sold some to folks (employees)visiting from Brazil and The Netherlands! :)

I think your price is low, particularly if you're talking about 8 and 16 fluid ounce bottles.  But it is getting out there,nso good for you.

Good for you, then.  But if people look at supermarket "honey" they think that's the price they should pay.  Tests have shown a lot of the "honey" has no real honey at all.  Don't undervalue real honey to compete with that fake stuff, is all I'm saying.

This is what I sell it for.  8oz $5, 12oz $7, 1# $9, 2# $15, 5LB $30. 

I remind myself Savannah Bee Co. sells theirs for a heck of a lot more than that too.  Market it well and sell it uniquely.  I sold out production of my 25 hives in 6 months at those prices.
