Topic: HOW MANY POUNDS PER GALLON? PRICE PER POUND? (Read 34007 times) Show Hey everyone, I believe there are about 46 oz. weight per quart of honey. I don't know if that includes the container or not. I saw that weight just the other day on a quart of honey at a country store selling honey for a local beekeper. Logged" A pint's a pound the world around." Most liqueds are close to that. wayne LoggedI was born about 100 years too early, or to late. Hmmm, never weighed any honey but around here the locals sell a quart of honey as 3 pounds and a gallon as 12 pounds. I saw a 3 pound jar at Wal Marts the other night and it looked pretty darn close to being quart sized.... LoggedNever let your education interfere with your learning" --Samuel Clemens A pint is a pound doesn't apply to honey. It is denser than water obviously, so it is about 3 pounds per quart or 1 1/2 pounds per pint. I sell my honey for 4.00 a pound, 5.00 a pint, and 9.00 a quart. I figure most people want a bargain, so the more they buy, the cheaper per pound. However, I could get more judging from the reaction of people when they pay for it... LoggedJon Y. Most people don't even blink at six bucks a pound. LoggedThe pints a pound the world around is true for most liquids except honey. In the case of honey a 12 ounce water container will hold 1 pound (16 ounces) of honey.

What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election! I've been getting 7 per pint, 12 per quart, and 20 for half gallons. I've been told by a couple customers that I should raise the price Loggedim getting $6.oo a pint and $3.50 for a 8 oz jelly jar, I dont sale quarts unless some are pre-ordered THAT's ME TO THE LEFT JUST 5 MONTHS FROM NOW!!!!!!!! Never be afraid to try something new. Thanks guys, I have 2 pound bottles I use. They say that each one holds 3 cups of honey. At that weight and volume (after the proper geeky conversion factors), a gallon of honey translates to 10.66 pounds. That is significantly different from what you got from the scale, so I don't know what to tell you. Here in utah at Jones Bee they sell for $2/pound in the 3# and higher bottles for most honey types. Pretty good deal that. However, the small hobbyist could definately sell for more. LoggedAfter 18 months of reading and preparation, my girls finally arrived on April 11th (2006)! Honey is 11.7 lbs per gallon Loggedis it possible to be so exact with the weight of honey since every crop is different? LoggedIt's my understanding that the moisture content is what makes it so dense, not the honey type. The higher the moisture percentage the less it weighs per gallon because it is no longer as dense as it was. :) David LoggedEveryone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try." So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin. If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it. (unknown) 8.33 per gallo you can find more information here : howmanypoundsinagallon.com LoggedI weighed my gal buckets and got
avg.of 12.7 lbs. But it depends on how thick the honey is. I get 10.00 dollars per pint that weight avg 1.5 lbs 18.00 for quarts.65.00 for gal buckets. The 8 lbs per gal. is water, honey is heavier. I sell mine $7.00 for a pint, I have a few customers
that want comb honey, it is $10.00 per pint. I have two customers that want comb in quarts it is $20.00 per quart. It doesn't take long to sell out if you don't have many hives. Good luck to you and your bees, Joe D LoggedHoney is usually about 12 lb per gallon. I varies somewhat with moisture content, but the general rule of thumb is 12 lb/ gal. LoggedWinter is coming. I can't say I hate the government, but I am proudly distrustful of them. I sell mine for $6 for a half pint and $10 for a pint. LoggedI got 5$ for a half pound and 8 for a pound and I sold out in 3 days and I had 22 pounds and sold 20 I also had people say that I need to raise my price lol LoggedHow many pounds is 2 gallons of honey?Honey is typically sold by weight rather than volume and is heavier than water (the standard for “fluid ounces”). That is why one cup of water is considered eight fluid ounces, but one cup of honey will actually weigh 12 ounces. A gallon of honey weighs approximately 12 pounds.
