I’m still to decide on a glass as they are so expensive!!
I’ve looked at Chinese manufacturers but with most of them you have to buy at least 10,000 jars or more… 
I think that @Araluen has ordered items from Amazon US, and even with shipping to Oz, he thought the price was reasonable. Might it be worth trying with the jars? 
I just bought 144 (a gross) of jars from our Bee Tradex show - £37.50 for 1lb honey jars (12fl oz) Honey weighs more than water so the jars need to be slightly smaller than the weight you want to put in them,
How to check your jars - get a honey jar you know the weight of, fill it with water and water measures 1oz: 1oz ie water is the standard for weighing, if the jar is in fluid oz that is the same weight in water.
In UK and Oz a 1lb jar weighs 16oz - a pint being 20oz, In the USA one lb (16oz) = 1 pt, which is why people get the measurements for sugar syrup wrong in UK, they measure lb:pint.
hope that helps
As a rough guide 100ml honey weighs 140g

@busso I think in both metric and imperial - I was taught in both - but if you convert to USA their measurements are different. Our honey in UK has to say 545g 1Lb - on the label - and it has to be a certain size print - Our labels are very specific.
But when talking to Beeks about sugar syrup they always use pint and pound
A pint is 20 fluid oz in volume but only a pint of water weighs 20oz. A pint of honey will weigh around 28 oz

A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter…easy to remember.
This is one of those rhymes learnt at primary school…from way back!..very way back!
HHH that is fine for UK and Oz but USA are pint=16oz - that is why you need to re-gig any recipes from there their spoons are different sizes as well

That is around 3 ounces more than a pound!

I would be looking for 200 to 250ml Jars…
I don’t get enough honey to Bulk Jar it… i’ll run a more “exclusive” line of honey 
If UK and USA would catch up to the rest of the world and go metric, life would be a lot easier for them.
I grew up with imperial in Oz but gee did I embrace metrics when it was introduced.

I suppose the rhyme they taught us in culinary school was a giant lie then… “A pint is a pound the world around”…

@adagna Sorry they lied 
but for a country that has a “World Cup” and the rest of us are not even invited to play. 
I lived in Georgia USA for some time…so have all the cup and spoon measures which I brought home. Though I have found over the years that I mainly cook like my mother used to…some of this…some of that…a bit more…that’s it. Ha ha.
I don’t worry too much about mixing the syrup and measuring too much. As long as the syrup isn’t too thick…so it doesn’t crystallise and block the rapid feeder. Thin syrup is easy enough too. Once you have some experience of seeing what it looks like…I suppose it is knowing when to feed thin and when to feed thicker syrup…which is probably more important and that will depend on what you are trying to achieve, where in the world you live, what forage is available and what time of year it is.
Measuring honey for selling is a different story but I don’t sell mine…too many gannets live in our house and come visiting!
We do metric here in the UK Busso…but we also do imperial…we are now able to convert one to another…and still drive on the left.
So it means wherever we go in the world we can do our sums!..but are likely to crash our car!
