Subject: Re: [BEE-L] Conversion - Honey - Volume to Weight
 
From the book that Chris Slade and I (David MacFawn) are working on

Honey is denser than other liquids. 1-qt jar is not 32 oz, but 44 oz OR
1.247 kg. by weight
1 pt jar is not 16 oz, but 22 oz OR 623 gram. US pints and quarts are
smaller than the UK. (The imperial version is 20 imperial fluid ounces
and is equivalent to 568 mL, while the U.S. version  is 16 U.S. fluid
ounces and is equivalent to 473 mL).    
Honey is denser than other liquids, a 12 US ounce jar equals one
standard measuring cup.
