French honey price

[mickbees23]

Honey like any other commodity is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. If it doesn't sell at that price it won't be up for sale at that price. produce a great product and people will pay for it. Selling it below value just ruins it for everyone. Time, consumables, equipment considered honey should be £30 a lb.

Lots of people already pay £30 lb and more for honey.

One has to acknowledge that French honey producers do appear to be good at

• getting their act together
• acting co-operatively
• marketing

An example would be:

Are there lessons here for British honey producers?

Lol...an often without realising it. The cost of inputs of some of the smaller beeks who some here looking for things....including advice.... divided by their tiny or even absent harvest, must mean their honey is costing them close to that amount.

Would the likes of a clover/blackberry honey get much of a premium?

On the French stall at Southam market, they were selling all their 500g jars of honey at the same price including spring, summer, bramble and one other that i can't recall - perhaps chestnut?
