Sounds low for US prices. I've charged $4/lb retail for 3 years and sold all
I have each year.  In our local food coop, "raw honey" in bulk is $2/lb
(unchanged for over 20 years, same man), while on the shelf 1 lb is $6.19
(12.19 for 2 lb) from one producer and 4.50-5.00 from other producers. Some
other local producers charge from $3 to $4, but most are at $4 this year (up
from last year).

Creamed or infused honey, in 12 oz hex jars sells for $5 locally and I've
never had a problem selling all I have (nor have others I have talked to).

Prices in grocery stores for non-local honey is lower and one local "packer"
(actually, not a producer or a packer, but who has honey "packed for" his
label does sell sort of in-between in price -- but still at about $4/lb for
several "varieties" of honey that are visibly undifferentiated. (clover,
sourwood and wildflower all identical in color and viscosity, while all true
wildflower in the area is much darker and most sourwood does not look like
clover).
