After making my first batch of melomel (ok, it's actually in a teriary.. ) I was put off with how much the honey cost from my LHBS. ($4/lb) As much as I like supporting them, I figured I could get a better deal in some capacity of bulk. I did some searching and found Stiles Apiaries in Fords, NJ. I got a call back from Grant Stiles and he was more than happy to get me the honey that I needed. He had 5 gallon buckets (60lbs) for $115 ($1.91/lb). He said he could have it ready for me for Sunday morning, so I'm going to stop by and see him then.
I'm not really sorry for not supporting my LHBS in this case... $88 vs $42 for cost of the honey for the referenced melomel... I can make twice as much now.
