How much is real honey per kilogram

The price of real honey is generally between 50 yuan and 300 yuan per kilogram, and the actual price is influenced by various factors such as the type of honey source, the environment of the place of origin, the season of honey harvesting, processing technology, and brand premium.

1. Honey source types

Honey brewed from different honey source plants has significant price differences. Common honey varieties such as locust blossom honey and lychee honey have relatively low prices, while rare honey varieties such as wild osmanthus honey and gallnut honey usually have higher prices due to their scarce production. Medicinal honey such as loquat honey has the effect of moistening the lungs and stopping cough, and its price is also higher than ordinary honey.

2. The price of honey produced in areas with superior ecological environment is higher. The soil honey collected by wild bees in deep mountains is usually much more expensive than honey from bee farms in plain areas because it is free from pesticide pollution and contains more active enzyme substances. Honey produced from some organic certified honey sources will also be priced higher due to quality assurance.

3. Honey harvesting season

Honey harvested in different seasons has price fluctuations. The first crop of spring honey is generally priced higher than summer and autumn honey due to its abundant pollen sources and high content of active ingredients. When the honey source is scarce in winter, the production of honey is low, and the rarity of the honey will also push up the selling price.

4. Processing technology

The processing method directly affects the pricing of honey. Untreated raw honey retains more active ingredients and is more expensive than pasteurized honey. Honeycomb, sold together with the honeycomb, has a higher production cost and is usually much more expensive than separated honey.

5. Brand Premium

Regular brand honey has complete testing and certification, guaranteed quality, and generally higher prices than bulk honey. Time honored brands and products with geographical indication certification, such as Xinjiang Black Bee Honey and Yunnan Wild Bazi Honey, may incur additional premiums due to their brand value. When choosing honey, one should not simply judge its authenticity based on price. It is recommended to purchase through legitimate channels and pay attention to checking product testing reports. True honey usually has the floral fragrance of the corresponding honey plant, a sweet but not greasy taste, and slowly crystallizes in low temperature environments. Daily storage should be placed in a cool and dark place, avoiding the use of metal containers for storage. Special groups such as diabetes patients need to consult infants under one year old before eating honey.
