Honey drum price

[DonR]

I'm new in this forum... I just had my first honey harvest and I was wondering how much should I be getting per drum.

I have harvested 10 drums (about 300kg / 550lb per drum). What should be a good price to sell here in England.

Thanks... and great forum by the way!

Hola Don R! The prices that you will get in England for Mexican honey, if you manage to import it, is much lower that British honey.

you should share your secret, how do you get 3000kg of honey from your 1st harvest or did you mean heist?

Hola DonR, apicultor mas grande,

How many colonies are you running and is this really your first year as a bee farmer?

Is this a family business and what is the main forage that your honey bees visit?

You should be asking a honey packer like Rowse if you are contemplating selling your honey in the UK, but freight and the correct paperwork doesn't come cheap.

Sorry... I should've have explained better...

My dad and my uncles are beekeepers... They been beekeepers for over 20 years. I have been learning beekeping in the last year from my dad. We have many hives. I have some and got almost 10 drums (of course with my dad's help).

We live in Mexico and deal with local market but thinking on going big leagues exporting. The honey we have is pretty much from orange blossom. How much does a drum cost in England?

This is my dad's managed by my brother

Nope, not trolling at all... Yes, its a family business I'm learning and planning to take over.
