Bulk Honey Resources

[MX1]

As the name implies, trying to make a list of bulk honey suppliers. Please feel free to add the many I am sure I have not found yet.
Also, If I have one listed that is a known supplier to avoid, please let me know.

It goes without saying, but get acquainted with your local bee keeper. I know guys that produce hundreds of gallons annually.

If you are ok with the local varietal, wildflower or sourwood in my case, you could get a decent deal if you commit to buy honey by the gallon. You also support the local guy.

Right now local bee keepers charge same price as bulk producers - so until inflation adjustment, I would source local.

Understood, but sometimes, new people like me, might want a resource to help guide them in the right direction, and all my local honey is 10$-12$ a pound.
I would rather start and screw up with cheaper honey.

And I am still on the lookout to find a Local Supply to support, but until then....

MX1, Fully get where you are coming from.

My point was, if you talk to the right beekeeper, they give volume discounts. Beats the heck out of sitting at a farmers market all afternoon in the sun trying to sell jars to tourist.

Also, $30 to $36 per quart seems really expensive. With a little effort, I bet you could get local honey in the $75 per gallon range.

That all assumes you are good with the local varietal.

I used to buy this when it was about 100$. Now it's almost $190.

I found local honey for $225 for 5 gallons of raw honey. If I include shipping cost from webstaurantstore - it's about same price for much much better quality.
