Raw unfiltered is good for people with allergies esp if the honey is local.

I have a guy who sells once filtered honey on CL in my area. I don't mind the chunks but don't know if its a good price.

I think it was like 100.00 for a 5 lb bucket. What do you think?

Here are our local prices.
8 ounce bears, $6, 6 pound bottles for $44.00/ 12 pound gallons for $80.00/ 60 pound buckets for $400.00
On a super good year, a hive can produce 150 pounds of honey.
More often then not, it will be less though.
The hive can cost about $120 to get set up.

That was supposed to read a 5 gallon bucket. So I guess I would depend on how may lb it weighed out to be.

I don't know how much honey in general weighs, but I know a 5 gallon bucket from home depot holds 25#s of organic chicken feed :) I figure 5 gallons of honey would have to weigh alot more since there's more in it :d Maybe as much as 50#'s? I'm a horrible guesser though :hide

It's $5 for about a jelly jar amount here, so that sounds pretty good.

I like the unfiltered raw honey. I do NOT like regular store-bought honey. So I wasn't sure if the filtered raw would taste like the unfiltered or not. I think I'll just stick with the unfiltered, though it's a pain in the arse if you want to spread it. I imagine it's healthier with the added nutrients of the pollen and such.
