My daughter just sent me this photo of Honey and croissants served at a breakfast buffet in Buenos Aires.
A dramatic presentation

Very similar to one at OāRiellyās behind the Gold Coast. Verry runny.

Iāve seen a similar serving stand online somewhere where a frame is uncapped and inverted and the honey runs/drips out and is caught in a copper channel and directed to a bowl. It was very fancy and decadent. Canāt remember where I saw it

Yes, very similar to a breakfast buffet we had in Hawaii. Canāt remember if it was on Maui or Oāahu. I only had a teeny taste. Didnāt look all that inviting.
But at some other resort, they served cut comb on a plate. I liked that better and carved a chunk off.
I wonder how much honey gets wasted with these kinds of setups.

If I was the chef at the hotel, I would take the dish under the frame and drain it every day into a jar after breakfast. Then I would use the jarred honey in my gourmet dishes served at exorbitant prices!

Same here Dawn, I know thereās a lot of food waste at those types of places. It seems criminal to waste honey.
I can see how easy it would be for this topic to go off course. āFood wasteā. My pet hate.

thatās immediately what I thought when I saw one- āseems wastefulā? I hate wasting any honey and go to silly lengths to try and save every spoonful. I look at a teaspoon of honey left somewhere and think: some bee worked itās whole life to make that- and now Iāve just wasted it!

Speaking of comb honey, whatās the going rate for a 4" square of it, or in ounces/grams however itās sold in your area? I saw boxes of squares from shallow frames being sold at a gift shop in Lancaster county PA - granted a very touristy place - for $22!!

I would say that $20+ for 12oz is pretty typical in my area. I would go for $25, because mine is āultra localā

I found this at my co-op the other day; I think they are dreamingā¦
They didnāt even bother to surround the comb with liquid honey!

As a matter of interestā¦ do they freeze the comb to stop any beatle/ moth lava growing in the jar?
2.5 ounces? 
70grams? Tell 'em their dreaming (the castle).

Wwow, would anyone buy that ā at any price. that reminds me of years ago someone was selling cans of fresh air.
No idea. But I doubt it.
I know! Too crazy 
even for Seattle. Then I found this on Amazon, same honey-but even pricier 
The other honey in the photo is much more reasonably priced, at 8 or 11 oz for the cut comb.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Enjoy
If they can sell it at that priceā¦good luck to them.
Iāve noticed that bee keepers undervalue their product to a ridiculous degree. My feeling is that you shouldnāt even be trying to compete with supermarket prices. Market it as something special.
The people whoāll buy raw honey at a market for $9/kilo donāt care about the product, just the price.

Fresh air is a big seller from Australia to China. I canāt remember the company name but they have numerous sites around Australia were they can the air (sea, mountain, desert, etc).
