honey.  Makes you wonder what the consumer is paying for.

Eric

Probably the local consumers are paying for the perceived value of honey grown close to them.  Whereas the bulk buyer only places the value that he pays for other bulk sources to that honey.  Since it is not of special value to him, he will pay only the current market price for that grade of honey.
