New Bee
Well the question is in the title. I have just harvested the honey from my hive and I have 35 jars of honey to sell. They are 3/4 of a lb in weight. I was thinking £4 or £5. But is that to much or to little?
Thanks

Wise words, sage advise !What you SHOULD charge and what you CAN charge are two very different things!
My advice would be to treasure your honey and never sell so cheap that you feel you have undersold it!
Also the price varies depending on if you are selling direct or to a shop. The shop needs a price that they can add their profit margin onto and still be able to sell it!
I personally would rather not sell a jar than accept too low a price.
** Prices vary so much from area to area and shop to shop that you only really get a feeling of the prices by going round local farm shops etc. and checking out prices.
Remember trading standards, and if you do it regularly, you may have to think about the Taxman.
there are lots of grey areas to hide behind, but if you advertise and is spotted it could be considered as 'extra income'
if you want to be safest, just give to friends and family. If they want to contribute to the bees (say £5 a jar, all the better!)
A couple of hobbyist beekeeping friends have been challenged recently regarding whether they pay tax on what the honey they are selling....
If you sell your last jar just before the new season's harvest then you've priced it about right.
