Hi All

In Canada the commercial packers use 750ml jars for 1kg honey.  They  
put out honey at precisely  the maximum water content allowed.  750ml  
= 26 imp fl oz = 25.36 US fl oz.  1 lb = 454gm.  Therefore 1 lb honey  
= 11.5 US fl oz = 11.8 imp fl oz = 340.5 ml.  If your honey is lower  
water content than allowed your 12 US fl oz jars will hold more than  
1 lb of honey.  I have seen people in the grocery comparing local  
honey (better flavour, lower water content etc) with commercial brand  
honey and choosing the latter because the local honey jar wasn't full 
(still had 1kg honey in it) and had a layer of bubbles on top.  Raise  
the level of the honey in the jar and raise the price accordingly.
