Selling And Marketing Honey! What Size Jar Should You Sell Your Honey In? 

great down to earth delivery and advice well done.

Hi Gruff, great vlog mate, I have never sold my honey before I mainly used to give it to family and friends but this season I had a good crop of honey and managed to have a great day at a farmer’s market we have once a month on the day I made myself over £200 which will go back to buy more bee stuff, I now have 12 hives going into winter let’s hope we have a mild winter and hopefully no losses going into next season. Thank you Gruff mate for sharing your vlog with us.

Everything you say makes great sense. Thanks

Good video, I really enjoyed that one!

Thank you for the information. It's super helpful 👍

Always handy to know👍

Great topic, thank you for sharing ❤

Great video and great info thank you very helpful.

This is a priceless tips thank you

Good topic and not usually covered. I sell 12oz round jars as I found the hex jars were difficult to clear of bubbles. Also most jams, artisan sauces and spreads are now in the 12oz jar so it sits well on the shelf.

Good idea!

Great video, thanks so much

Loved this video!

Thanks for This video ! That's a smart way of thinking :) And I even can understand Your accent :) so thumb up and subscribed !! cheers !

Thanks for the beekeeping videos. They're really helpful. Hope this doesn't sound too daft but I'm writing a book and it has a beekeeping theme. Your videos have been really helpful for accurate research 🙂

Great info. Something I’ve been struggling with. I want to give as much honey as I can to my customers but still cover my costs but never my time lol that would be some expensive honey 🤣

Hi Gwenin! I was on youtube searching for ways to pack jars for shipping and stumbled on this great video. I'm a Portuguese part time beekeper (weekend and vacation) with around 60 hives and I produce in a good year around 700 to 900 kilos of honey and sell it mostly locally and some also to retail. I started this journey on 2014, so almost 10 years producing honey. I feel that I'm a good honey producer by I was lacking some marketing skills and this year I started to look at the business with a different perspective. And I have the same opinion like you, the jar has to stand up against the competition on the shelve, either by the correct size or even by the correct and most attractive label. I've been selling only 1kg jars but this year I will bring also the 480g and maybe some smaller ones to address different markets. At this moment I totally share your thought, I'm not into making huge profits but expanding my number of customers with a good value for money product (Oak, Chestnut and Heather mix)! Keep up the good work and thank you for bringing this important topic to the beekeeping table! Cheers from Portugal.😉

Another great vid. Slightly off topic - I've started using foundation free frames in my hive and was surprised at how fast the bees started drawing them out - amazingly they appear to hang, linked to each other like a chain when they are building the comb. The reason I'm trying foundation free is that there's a theory that bees are less vulnerable to varroa when they create their own comb size (which is naturally smaller in size than manufactured foundation). Also I'm hoping to keep the foundation as pure as possible. So far so good and I'll keep you updated as it goes.

The 28 grams jar is my most sold item, but what a tedious lot off work, next to that the 1/2 kilogram, but that market is because I’m surrounded by 6000 tourists hotels on this island

Love the Welsh accent!

Speaking of honey. Did you find the honey thief? Great pointers. Thanks!!!

Great info thanks. I did 8oz this year as only had a small harvest. Hopefully next year I will be able to offer the 12oz size. I will hopefully be looking to source outlets, what price would you recommend to sell the 8oz & 12 oz at for wholesale?

thanks

Very very cool vid, i have had a good year lots of good splits and if this winter is not to bad next year i could be in the position sell product, could you point me i the direction of a good cheap glass vendor. And thanks again for the vid

Thank you for a great video. The one size you don’t do and didn’t mention is 1lb/454g jar. What is your view of that size?

I agree, I sell 8oz and 12oz but 12oz is bar far the best seller.

Sell (on a small scale) all my honey in 12oz seems to right size for most people. Where do you get your labels or do you print yourself?

Pints and quarts imperial here, in Yellow Springs, Ohio, USA. Easier for cash size. Single bill.

Many thanks for useful video. Have you noticed any preference in jar shape ? Do round jars sell better than hexagon jars ?

Where did you get your lables done?

See you got the lockdown haircut going grif.Good helpful video , you ever done anything with cut comb?

Thanks for an informative video. You say 12oz gives a little bit more honey then 8oz. Really it's 50% more honey. Obviously packaging costs are less but in my opinion I'm surprised you say there is only a pound difference in price from 8oz to 12oz. A 12oz jar should cost 30% or 40% more than 8oz.

انا من اليمن معي كميات كبيرة شهد عسل سدر وسمرة ومراعي صيفي كيف اجيب عملاء من خارج اليمن وكيف أصدر ممكن تتكرم ترشدنا

I’d like to know where you get your labels printed. Can you tell me?

this is very cool, you are only for sale, or you can still buy

Great video…does this still apply for 2024?

May I have written sizes of the honey jars in grams please.

We assume that large quantities of Yemen are large and varied quantities of Yemen and how kindly to guide us.

What's the average price for honey I got six five gallon buckets that needs a home

Do you no if I can import a company honey and put my own label on it?some called white label ?would you supply me honey and I jar it and label it with my brand name on it?

I only sell one lb jars!

Hey what's the minimum investment of this business, I'm from India

Thank you I'm hoping to sell honey from a supplier

i sell honey

Wi credu taw’r pris yw’r peth. £7 yw limit seicolegol pobol, felly bydden i’n iwso pa bynnag jar sy’n cyfateb i tua £5-7 werth o fêl.

Whole world is selling honey per kilo jar. Only UK is always behind with everything like sizes of jars or introducing new technologies.

Why are we still talking about onces and kilos? Why are we mixing the units? Just stick with metric I think, Thats how I bottle my honey anyway in 250 gramme jars or 500 gramme jars.🙂

Plastic jar will be more practical I think
