I have just returned from Morocco where I bought 225g of honey, direct from the beekeeper for approx £5.30. The same honey in local shops was £8.48 or nearly £17 per lb.
The reason for the high price? It was from Argan trees and the yield is only 3-4kg per hive each year.
I had always thought that Manuka honey was the most expensive, but this is in another league altogether!
Anyone found honey at a higher price?

(Thinking that I would be deliriously happy to get a quarter of that price - but not the crop!)
