I'm a new beek and I am getting ready to order my first honey jars. Which sizes do everyone sell the most of? I realize it will be different in different places, but any experience is helpful.

These are what we see in order of popularity:

1# Classic
12 oz. Bear
2# Classic
5# Deco Jug

The 1# Inverted Hex and classics are quickly gaining in popularity. We are told they increase sales by about 30%. The container is a little more expensive, along with the special dripless lid. However, the consumer will pay more for convenience. You can also use the regular lids (non-inverting) with this container and it looks bigger than a regular classic, due to their narrow/elongated shape.

I think its more of a location thing, you have to find out what they want there. When I was in NC 12oz bears, here they want quart size squeeze. I think in the city they don't use honey as much as they do around farm areas, they tend to be a little more used to agriculture.
