Honey price 2024

[Mick Plimley]

I’ve advertised last years honey in buckets. The number of time wasters I’ve had is bloomin’ annoying.

Hi all you honey sellers its hilltop honey that's doing the market in shame

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Honey packers and beekeepers in your neck of the woods:

A Blend of Non-EU Honeys - £2.99 / 340g jar.

Not really competition, as far as I can see, although you have to look to the details to realise that the honey is mainly foreign.

 

[Erichalfbee]

Yes I know who they are. I lead a sheltered life. I had to Google market shaming.

Hilltop do not compete in our market, Mick. They are wholesalers, buying in bulk from all over and will sell anywhere, but small-scale beekeepers like you and I are selling a local product at a far higher price to a discerning buyer.

Local honey sellers can help each other to ensure good £/g by not dumping honey on the market after a good season.

A full stop after 'in' makes it work.

My googling seemed to as well.

£14/lb for Welsh Honey…………..https://lovehilltop.com/products/welsh-blossom-honey?_pos=3&_fid=6eafb9aa1&_ss=c

£10/lb for British………….https://lovehilltop.com/products/british-blossom-honey?_pos=1&_fid=6eafb9aa1&_ss=c

I’d say Hilltop is attempting to sell a premium product at a premium price - the streets are paved with gold in the beekeeping world.

Local bee farmer is now selling cheaper than ever (after costs have risen 40%(ish) over the past few years). I'm selling mine B2B at more than their retail price. A race to the bottom is not the way to run a business, but assume it works for them.

With some effort, decent marketing and customer awareness of how rare and premium our products are, a healthy margin is viable.

I sell 3b tubs regularly in whatever box I find and the odd 30lb bucket goes by courier

hi Dani, how do you price your 3lb tubs?
One of my shops makes cakes and used my 227 jars to make a honey cake. She asked if I could supply in a larger pack so I'm trying to work out a price based on fewer jars and labels and less work in filling.
I normally sell my 227g for £3.90 wholesale so am considering £24-£25 for a 2kg tub.

I sell my 1.2kg tub at £16 compared to my 340gr at £6. My 1.2kg tubs are mostly for people cooking with it (I have a couple of cafes on the books) so they don't get the prenium honey, i.e. they don't mind if it is the bottom of the buckets.
