What is the general rule for estimating weight of honey for a quart or gallon? I noticed all sales are in pounds, and I am mentally stuck in volume as it handled in drums...

That depends on where it is! If you take it north of the border it will weigh a bit over 14 lbs.
Nominally it is close to 1.42 times heavier than the same volume of water.Depends on how accurate you want to be and what the moisture content is. That can vary from 16 to a bit over 18%. Stuff on shelves that has been pasteurized can run up to something over 19% water and wont ferment. Raw honey at anything near that high will ferment.
