honey

Sugar, and all about sugar washes. Where the primary ingredient is sugar, and other things are just used as nutrients.

What are all of you paying for a gallon of honey?

I have found a guy local that sells a five gallon bucket of raw for $200

A 55 gallon drum for $2200

Homebrew stores have it for $45-$50 per 12# (gallon). That'd make it roughly equivalent to your 5 gallon price. Oh, and 1/2 of the cost per gallon is for shipping, so to pick it up locally should save you a few dollars.

Certain varieties of honey (where the bees harvest the flowers) can increase the cost. The above quoted cost is for wildflower honey. Clover honey (common in the midwest USA) may be a little bit cheaper...but shipping will be the same.
