Good afternoon fellow bee keepers. I am new to the bee world. I installed my first hive a few days ago. I already have standing orders for honey. So how much to charge for pint and quart jars.
I am in Western Maryland; we charge $ 5.00 a pound. This is really an inexpensive amount considering the cost of bottles, labels, and safety seals plus the pain and expense of keeping bees. Also consider the cost of medications. As we beekeepers really know the actual cost of honey should be around $ 35.00 a bottle, but that would never fly. lol
