I'll gladly sell them to you for $7.00. Then you can make a dollar on each one.

I wholesale 12 pack ones for $36.60/ case, which is $3.05 /jar..

When selling at retail, don't sell it too cheap. That hurts all beekeepers.
My I suggest checking price at few "local" markets, and if yours is BETTER add 25 or 50 cents.

Both Bee Culture and ABJ have price reports by Region. Hopefully, you have a subscription to one or the other, or both. That's a place to start. In your area (retail) $2.50-$5.50.

Sell my 1 lbs gallberry for $6 and add a dollar for 1 pound chunk honey.

[MAXANT]

My dark honey is $6, the light seems to have a higher value. Wanted to get a feel for what you all are getting for yours.
I have to make up for all the great deals I give on our machinery through honey sales

Max rep. I think you need to refine the question. You'll find price changes depending on the location and market.

Fairs, health food shops, and local food markets will bring in top dollar. $8 to $10 for local wildflower. $11 and up for various monoflorals.

It's also a question if you have a lot of beekeepers in your area under cutting market price.

If you aren't selling directly to the customer, you'll have to discount it.

I tend to find older beekeepers with lower prices, who haven't raised their prices in years.

You also need to think about how much stock you have, and how fast you're looking to dump it. Honey inventory or honey stock is just like stock on the stock market. If you price it lower it will move faster.

I tend to keep my inventory of purchased monofloral honey lower, and the price high. While the reverse for my local wildflower.

If you are new to your market area try $1 under local store prices for your first year. The next year you can raise youre price youre sales will not drop. You may even have to buy wholesale local honey untill you extract again.

Walmart sells a 1 pound jar of honey in the Omaha area here for about $4.00, give or take some change.

I can buy a 24 oz jar of raw honey from a local beekeeping products store for about a bit over $7.00 also in Omaha.

there must have been a buy for Walmart because they are selling a lot of honey this year, Sam's club is selling 1/2 gallon jugs of what they say is "Pure Clover Honey" then when you look were its from and it say Brazil, United States, Canada, New Zealand and Argentina, funny how they know its all from clover..

I sale my pint jars for $6.50

[Scorpster]

My wife just bought a 1/2 gal jug (6lb) of US honey for 6.99$US. Think it was from a large retailer but labelled from a company in WA, but on the back it says: Product of USA & Canada.

80% of Walmarts stock comes from China directly or indirectly.

[Barry Tolson]

Mine sell for $7.00 each.

[Burnett 2.0]

I recently sold my honey in 8oz jars for $7 per jar. It only took eight hours to completely sell out. People didn't seem to think twice about it.

[mlewis48]

I get $5.00 for mine but the price is going up some this year to cover the rising cost of everything else.

[zigkid]

We sell for $7 for local raw honey will probably be $8 this year. We sell a premium product that in our opinion is better than what you can get in the store.
