It was more than the $38 mentioned here for UMF 11, but as has been mentioned this honey should make UMF 15. Yes, the honey has just been harvested, these numbers are straight off the hive. His situation is that he has spent the last several years planting his land in manuka of a selected strain, and is finally reaping some honey. However his investment has been substantial, he is now looking for best possible price. my impression, reinforced now, is that with such a trivial amount of honey he should be happy that he was able to find a buyer 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty average honey so I'd have thought 30-40 dollars was realistic 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
