I sell honey in hex jars with a weight of 350g. They sell in a local shop at £3.95. I had some 454g jars which sold for £1 more but customers were reluctant to spend the extra money even though the honey was better value. We live in hard times! My prices are more than supermarkets and customers will pay the higher price for quality.

There are some people who I have spoken to who say that local honey has definitely helped with their allergies and honey from India will not do that. Honey needs to be taken for months or a year or two for it to work it seems. I assume it's the pollen in small quantities that helps the immune system build up resistance. I wonder if I could bottle and sell the sludge that blocks the fine honey strainer as a high potency anti-allergy remedy?
