As you live in kent I would suggest freeman and Harding.
A large part of jar cost is delivery so perhaps you can collect.

Failing that pattisons (If you order a big enough load) or CW Jones. Just come back from Veg's with 540 jars - my part of a bulk order he put in to Pattisons working out at less than 27p a jar delivevred

Mike, noting that you have just the one hive.
Generally, you should start by asking at your Association. Many (most?) bulk-buy so they can sell very cheaply to members.

But specifically, for 8 oz hex jars, you might be out of luck at the association. Some keep them (like Thanet) others (like Dover) don't.


And something else to be aware of is that smaller doesn't automatically mean cheaper!

I use Wynne Jones.
I can have a day out and pick them up.
I have given up on hexagonal jars...I find it really hard work to avoid the bubbles in the corners.
Chunk honey looks nice in Orcio jars for Christmas and I got those from Freeman and Harding

I use Wynne Jones.

I think they're the best value for small quantities, but unless you have over £100.00 worth there's carriage on top (their website is closed for refurbishment at the moment.
Pattersons do 100 8 ounce hex jars for 43.60 which includes postage - they do 50's as well.

Thanks people some great contacts there!

How much are keepers selling 8oz honey for?

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Sorry - it's Pattesons (NO R)
