Producers averaged $3.05/lb across all channels and $7.15/lb selling direct in 2025. A 16-oz jar derived from the producer-direct benchmark is $7.15; dated catalog ranges are separate and lack retained package sizes.

Wholesale and bulk honey prices

USDA AMS reported $1.75–$3.00/lb for Aug 2026 on domestic 10,000 lb or greater lots. That wholesale basis is not a retail jar quote.

Compare two jars by net weight

Enter each jar’s total price in US dollars and the net weight printed on its label. Include the same kinds of costs, such as shipping and tax, for both. Use weight ounces, not fluid ounces. Your numbers stay in this calculator; they do not change the USDA benchmarks or catalog below.

Jar A

Enter price and net weight to calculate.

Jar B

Enter price and net weight to calculate.

Complete both jars to compare their cost per 100 g.

A lower unit price does not establish quality or authenticity. Compare the origin, processing and certification evidence separately.

Why honey prices use different bases

The rail compares three genuine USDA per-pound bases. The dated catalog layer stays separate because its package size was not retained.

Honey price per pound: bulk, producer, retail

Only genuinely per-pound USDA values appear on this rail; each links to its exact report issue.

What the catalog estimates show

Tiers use each catalog range’s midpoint only for browsing. They do not compare equal package sizes, predict a checkout price, or rank quality.

Browse catalog estimates

These catalog ranges were curated without retaining package size, observation source, or observation date. They are estimates, not independently verified seller quotes. The curated date (Jan 18, 2026) is not a checked date.

How to use these estimates safely

Start with the catalog ranges to identify varieties that may fit your budget, then verify a current offer’s package size, total price, shipping, and seller before making a decision. A lower catalog range does not establish better value because package sizes are unknown.

  • Do not treat the catalog curated date as a retailer check date.
  • Compare price per ounce only after you have a seller-listed price and package size from the same offer.
  • Keep these catalog estimates separate from the dated USDA channel benchmarks in the index above.
  • Use the honey recommender to narrow the catalog by your preferences before checking current offers yourself.

Methodology and provenance

Catalog estimates preserve seeded low and high ranges, but package size, source URL, and checked date are explicitly null. The generated browser artifact excludes purchase and merchant URLs. The price-index methodology documents USDA calculations and source provenance separately.

Frequently asked questions

How much does honey cost?

A dated clover catalog range spans $8.82–$17.23, while official bulk and producer channels use different per-pound bases. The catalog was curated on Oct 7, 2026 without package size or retailer verification, so use each labeled layer for context and verify any seller offer separately.

How much is a pound of honey worth?

USDA NASS reported $7.15/lb for producer direct retail in 2025. The all-channel producer average was lower because channels and transaction bases differ. These are official annual producer benchmarks, not a valuation of a particular beekeeper’s crop, jar, shipping costs, or local demand.

How much does a 16-oz jar of honey cost?

A 16-oz jar derived from the USDA NASS producer-direct benchmark is $7.15. USDA did not quote that jar price; the page multiplies the labeled per-pound basis and marks it as derived. Dated catalog ranges remain separate because package sizes were not retained, so they cannot support a normalized 16-ounce shelf average.

Why is honey so expensive?

Channel, origin, floral source, packaging and certification can widen the range. In this dated catalog, Mānuka’s midpoint is 4.48× clover, but that relative model retains no package-size normalization and makes no quality or health claim. Official bulk and producer figures remain separately labeled because their reporting bases are not interchangeable.

What are wholesale bulk honey prices?

USDA AMS reported domestic bulk honey at $1.75–$3.00/lb for Aug 2026 in 10,000 lb or greater. That is a wholesale benchmark for large lots, not a retail jar quote. State, floral, grade and import rows stay as reported rather than being silently averaged together.

How much is local raw honey?

USDA NASS producer direct retail averaged $7.15/lb in 2025, the closest official benchmark here to a direct local sale. It is still a national annual average, not a local raw-honey quote. Verify a seller’s package size, total price, shipping, floral source and date before comparing offers.

What does honey cost per gallon?

Using the USDA NASS producer-direct basis, one gallon at about 12 pounds derives to $85.80. The page calculates that by multiplication; USDA did not quote a gallon price. Density, container size, shipping and seller terms can differ, so treat the conversion as arithmetic context rather than an offer.

Are honey prices going up in 2025?

The latest recorded USDA AMS midpoint changed 9.2% month over month and 2.2% year over year. The series contains 25 recorded periods and leaves unavailable reports as gaps, so it does not interpolate a smooth trend or imply that a stale last issue describes today’s market.
