£9/340, £6/227, £3.50/135. Surrey Bell Heather £7/227. Baker's Honey £18/1kg, £7/400g.
The beekeeper up your road is living in the past: either he wants to shift it quick, worried if he raises it to £5.50 this year and £6 in two years that it won't sell (it will, all day long) or doesn't care that he's undervaluing a quality local product and holding back the price for others. There's a bloke at a market in Maldon, Essex, selling 1lb of local honey for £2.50. Get my drift?
Hertfordshire BKA ran an online questionnaire recently to find out how and where and what people do to sell honey: turns out that the average is £5 for a 1lb jar, so a lot of beekeepers are doing themselves and others no favours, and have been dong so for a long time.
For pity's sake: what other product stays the same price for 27 years?
