Who’s buying the honey, both residents and tourists would be the easiest answer but I will try to go into a bit more detail.
In the last ten years beekeeping has exploded here and consequently there are more sources for the shops. At the moment we are in peak tourist season so our honey is selling pretty fast to them. I wouldn’t pay £3.95 for a 4oz hex but a delicatessen is charging that. The locally owned grocery stores don’t add such a big mark up and you’re looking at an average of £10:00 a lb. Even though I have been asked I won’t supply mine to retailers who add big margins.

Why I hate shops aimed at visitors Orkney Honey 227g
A local grocery store is selling the same jars for £7:50! I know the supplier and I know what they ask the sellers for.
