I won’t lie: Beautiful honey packaging matters more to me than it should.
“Why are we spending $80 on labels?” my husband asked. “We don’t even sell our honey!” And he’s right. Our 1040 reads a fat zero on the “Honey Income” line but, I might argue, if the IRS measured quality of life, mine would skyrocket every time I bottle a jar of honey. This weekend I harvested 2 gallons of honey from my Nob Hill hive, and the bottling process was pure pleasure.
If you’re an aesthete like me, or if you aim to sell your honey, here are a few ideas for inspiration and sourcing.

Heart your labels! I like that they are clear and you can see through to the clarity/ color of your Nob Hill honey. Yummmmmmmmmy
