Having filled countless honey containers through the years I have learned the two variables in honey weight are temperature (warm honey expands) and moisture. In addition if the honey is too warm it can aerate if filled too rapidly and with too thin a stream, and that can be a problem as well. Depending on the variables it should run somewhere 11.5 and 12 lbs. per gallon. Most any 5 gallon bucket should have enough headspace to hold 60 lbs.
