Marketing Honey Packages For Farm Beekeeping
Western beekeepers mainly market extracted honey while eastern producers favor comb honey. White clover honey commands top prices, basswood next, and comb honey often fetches the best. Adulteration in extracted honey creates a market for guaranteed pure products sold under a brand and seal. Combs use one pound frames in cases of 12 or 24, with glass fronts. Packaging details include tray liners, drip guards, and crated shipments. Retail glass jars and pasteboard cartons are common, with extracted honey sold in five gallon square tins, boxed singly or in pairs.
