I don't know if this will help or hinder but I find that honey is one and a
half times the weight of water.   A 20 litre bucket holds 30 kilograms of
honey.   Honey warmed to 70 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit) does
occupy a slightly greater space but we can still fill a 500 gram pack with
500 grams weight of honey.
