These are US prices.
s beekeepers we are selling a commodity that the price is is determined by supply and demand. Like all the other produce in the stores, gas at the pump, the price of sugar that you need to feed your bees. Setting your price to what the customer will have to pay for it at any other location is not ripping off your customer. if the national price is low because of good crops but because conditions in your ares produced low crops for you  you end up selling at a reduced price even to the point of not covering expenses. in a year where the conditions are reversed do you can make a little extra to carry you over the lean years.
The other good news is, if you don't want to market your honey the wholesale price of honey is near $5.00 a pound.

How did trump get into this discussion. :) I like Mr trump. ;) We need more men like him. Hes got balls and cares about his country. Hes trying to help the men and woman that work with their hands like us. I will get off my soap box now before the forum police comes in to put the fire out. :yes:

Jack no problem As starter of this treat I say Hijack Away. I know I have gone off topic on enough threads and it is one of the nice things about this forum, most the members are relaxed and don't let the bee get under their collar.

By "let the bee get under their collar" I am not making reference to any members of the forum with bee in any part of their name. Myself included. It's just not worth getting worked up over.
