Labeling Honey for Sale

Some beekeepers sell honey only occasionally in small and variable amounts depend, on the size of the harvest and the honey surplus to their own requirements each year Others, with a greater number of hives may regard their beekeeping as a sideline from which financial return is required and may be supplying various retail outlets on a regular basis. Other beekeepers would like to sell honey but feel that the many laws pertaining to this are so complex that they would be unable to comply, or that there is a fear of inadvertently falling foul of the law.

Advisory leaflet No. 103: So You Wish To Sell Honey, attempts to set out and clarify Requirements.
