R.I.P. The 1lb round.

[lindsay s]

I’m going to have to order more honey jars soon and yes I might be counting my chickens before they hatch, but they will easily keep for a few years (the jars not the chickens). I’ve posted before that I was happy to use 1lb or 500g jars but times are changing. Visit any supermarket and you will find the 340g/12oz jar is now the standard and you might find value honey in 1lb jars. If you visit any deli or tourist shop you’ll find 1lb honey jars quite rare. The price asked for good quality local honey is now so high I think nobody will dare to sell it in 1lb rounds. I’m thinking of switching to the 12oz Hex even though the jars are expensive. Another downside of smaller jars will be all the moaning from my customers that their being ripped off. By the way I’m not being greedy because I’ve already spent this year’s anticipated profit on more equipment. Unless you lot think different Rest In Peace the 1lb round.
