I was in COSCO in Orange, CT on Saturday and I always check on the price of
honey while I am there. Dutch Gold of Lancaster, PA was going for $4.59 for a
five pound plastic jug.

I will be have a booth at a fair in this community in two weeks this will be
my fourth year and I sell my honey for $3.50 a pound (no discount for largers
size jars) and I usually sell out of honey or close to it.

Small beekeepers you can make money on your honey but YOU HAVE TO EDUCATE
YOUR COUSTMERS on why your honey is better than the $2.29 a lb store bought
honey.
