Allen Dick said "At the AHPA, it seems to me that I heard talk of
prices in the 85c to 90c US
range, and that is about a dollar Canadian."

While not explicitly stated, I am reasonably certain that the price
reference was to white honey.  Around here (and I was just told, in
Texas) Extra Light Amber is going for $.60-$.65.  Better than the $.50
that it sold for during the market low, but certainly not a good
price.

On the other hand, in almost 30 years I have never seen such 'good'
prices for comb honey.  Here in the northeast, 8-9 ounce Ross Round
sections, which many wholesale buyers prefer because it can be shipped
without leaking or other difficulty, sold last summer and fall for
$3.50-$4.00 each, wholesale.  12 ounce cut comb sections sold for
about the same price during the summer but got as low as $2.50 when
producers wanted to clear their inventories in the late fall.

There is a serious East Coast buyer looking to contract for several
thousand 2005 Ross Rounds production (at prices about equal to 2004).
Anyone who is interested (minimum of 500 sections) can find more
information by contacting me privately.
