“‘Real’ locally produced honey is $10 to $15 a qt.”

A quart of honey weighs 12 lbs, give or take (moisture content may cause slight variation). That makes your locally produced honey $3.33 to $5 a lb.

I get local Ohio Amish produced honey $12 for 5 lbs, or $2.40 per lb. It is real honey, and it has not been pasturized.

SHHHHHHHH!

Local honey here in VA goes for $8 up a pound. I get my own from Amish sources.

Obviously you meant to say a ‘gallon’ -not a ‘quart’- weighs 12 pounds.

The fellow I got my honey from offered it with or without comb- and a BIG comb- in the jar. For the same price and said people snapped up the jars with comb. Me, I’d rather have more honey for the price even though I enjoy comb.

Nope.

According to Wolfram, a quart of water weighs 2.09 pounds, and a quart of honey weighs 3 pounds.
