No Risk Work Bees

It has to be local if you want it to help with allergies.

Costco has 2 different types of honey. I buy the raw unfiltered that is USA honey.

It is cheaper at Sam's too but I like to buy the local not only because it helps seasonal allergies but because it keeps money in the community.

Mary if your taking for health benefits you might want to find local Bee Keeper.

No, I just use it for my yogurt and tea. I have a parent who gives me a jar of local honey every year for Christmas. That 12 oz.jar costs $28.

I buy it for $8/pint.....I'm getting a great deal.

Looks like we need to raise our prices! DH & DS sell it for less than $8 @seedcorn and @ninnymary Hmmm I guess it is what the market will bear. If we price it too high it will not sell. DH is adding 4 more hives this spring.

Here's a chart of the average price per pound by month for several years back, if that helps give you some idea. https://www.honey.com/honey-industry/honey-industry-statistics/unit-honey-prices-by-month-retail/

I've seen it somewhere listed for my state (and yours probably has it too), but I can't remember where. Maybe someone from your beek club would know.

Everything is relative to cost of living in area.

2 things I NEVER argue about on price-honey (don't want to process honey) and dairy (married wife, will not be married to a cow)!!!!
