I was kind of going for like under $2/lbs

This. Dutch Gold has a handful of varieties (incl. orange, clover, wildflower, buckwheat) you can get in 5-gal buckets. They're about $145 after shipping.Check out the Dutch Gold website dutchgoldhoney.com, I buy 60# buckets and they work out to be around $2.30 a pound including shipping, they have smaller and larger quantities, their orange blossom is amazing
ReDim said:There are clubs, like Costco, sometimes in store I can get grade A honey, like clover, (not just wild-flower) 5 lbs for about $9... $2@ pound.
My local supermarket sells it for 3.33 pier lb and I see it in the on-line brew stores for 6lbs@20
found some interestng reading when googled honey check out - google tainted chinese honey in the us
janitorjerm said:Idk if your willing to drive the half hour or so but theres a local apiary near Santa Fe/Alvin (out towards Dickinson) that I buy my honey from. Local wildflower. Cost me about $24 a gallon. I have the info if you'd like it.
I was at Costco yesterday and they had clover honey at $12.99 for 5 lbs. Still seemed like a good price
THIS. I get it for 11$-12$ here in MD for 5lbs. I hate when honey is super clear but I just deal with it. Saving up for a 60lb pail from dutch gold, like the idea of their wildflower honey from Brazil.

knotquiteawake said:Have any of you guys used the Costco honey in a batch? Did it turn out ok? Seems that all the local honey distributors out here charge about the same amount for Honey, $48/12lbs (1 gallon). Also all of the local honey guys just mix the honey, they are not single sourced (clover, orange, etc).
So I figured if I'm going to be experimenting with mead I might as well use the cheap stuff first and then when I get a handle on it spend $$$ for the raw local honey.
