Suggest reading posts 36-38, if not the whole thread?

I don't know, it might be an idea to try honey from another country - I know I've never tried Hungarian or Bulgarian honey. But start small, I think it's a great idea. There are whisky clubs, chocolate clubs where you get sent stuff to try, so why not honey? Best of luck with the venture

Please don't turn on me if my sentiments seem alien - one of the interesting things about beekeepers and beekeeping is the variety - in hive types, locations, some methods - but yet with a common interest in bees. With some of what goes on (thefts, jumping on bandwagons, trying to avoid introducing disease) people are protective. Newbies to a forum cannot always assess the 'mood' and practices - even when guidelines are clearly laid down interpretation can vary.
I think people promote bees and beekeeping in different ways and that variety is part of the strength of the community so I hope no one gets upset and stops contributing or being involved.

The original poster visited our association Bridgend beekeepers and gave a very good talk and explained all about what they are doing I think they were buying in bulk at £3lb (please correct me if wrong) thats not a bad price really if you dont have much time on your hands for jarring labelling and so on.

Thanks Veg. Yes, we generally pay around £3 per lb depending on the quality of the honey and whether it has any unique selling points (interesting forage, location, back-story etc).
We've had a great response from beekeepers and are building up a nice network of suppliers.
