I am a hobbyist with a very few hives.   Last year for the first time I tried
comb honey production, using the Hogg half-comb system (each super contains
40 square plastic containers,
each of which holds 12 oz.).
 
My success last year led me to repeat this year, and again I have
found the procedure simple and successful.   Now, my problem is
what to do with all these beautiful containers of honey in the comb.   I do
not sell honey;  my immediate and wider family eat
all they want, and I give away the balance.
 
I want to donate some of these containers to a favorite local
charity for them to sell, but since I have never sold any I have no
idea what price to recommend that they set.    Any suggestions?
My location is southern New England, USA.    Comb honey does not
seem to be sold much in this area, so potential customers may
never have eaten any.
