Bulk honey buyers

[steveselvage]

I have been offered a couple more apiary sites for the spring but both are close to osr fields.
At the moment I avoid the stuff because I don't like dealing with the honey.
Are there any companies that would buy the honey in bulk around the south?
What price should I hope for?
Thanks in advance

Bulk honey prices are hitting rock bottom according to @Into the lions den
I don’t suppose honey by the bucket is considered bulk though.
Patrick Lasletts site has spring honey for sale from £3 to £4 a pound.

A pallet of 36 x 14 kg buckets goes for around £4000

A pallet of 36 x 14 kg buckets goes for around £4000

So £3.60 per lb

An opportunity for somebody else then. Lots of commercials do

Yes, but when standing at the junction of decision, choose your road with care.

A search of the first phrase that came to mind - trust in the supply of authentic food - threw up a daunting volume of research; a skim was enough to convince me that the further you drift from your own product, the more the authenticity of your product will decline and lead to a dark alley: the erosion of trust in a niche market.

By contrast, my farmers' market require the seller to be the producer.
