I've just created a website which I want to put prices on, and managed to quote someone £7 a half pound, which I realised was wrong. I was thinking of around £9 a pound. Does that sound right to anyone out there?

Please bear in mind I am not in France, I do have honey and am selling it at the same price as last year at the moment to existing punters (£5.50 a lb or two for a tenner).

Normal weight for CC is half pound. I am taking £3-75 per piece.

round here its seen as a premium product and therefore people are prepared to pay more for it. which is funny when you think it takes less work to package it.

Forgot to say my price is for blossom, and heather should be more.

Didn't do any this year as the flow this year was not strong enough or long enough to have the nice white capped comb. Last year they were ringing me in November begging got more for the Christmas trade> You could cash in this year. Remember that it needs careful storing and if you have a big freezer, give it 24 hours in an airtight box in there to make sure you have wiped out any wax moth eggs.

Hi all
Never done any cut comb, was waiting on the boxes to arrive! Is the freezer just if you are storing it or should you freeze defrost, cut and box? Or do you always have to do 24hrs freeze due to possible wax moth? Do you need to "drain" the cut piece of comb 1st before boxing and if so what is the shelf life then of the boxed piece, thanks

Don't need a big freezer. If I get 20 boxes, I will have done well.
