> I wonder if there are similar correlations between package prices and honey.

Apparently so. I found this yesterday:

Discussions with industry representatives
suggested that package bee producers, 
base the package price on the price of honey
and sell whatever packages are demanded at that
price. The price of queen bees has been set based
on the price of packages.
