I searched online and hit farmers markets for fresh local honey. To be honest the best price I found was at Whole Foods. $2.29 / lb. Local colorado honey in a large 5+ gallon drum on tap. Wildflower, high altitude and a california orange blossum.

I would prefer to buy from a small or truly local source. But the ones I found were really high. Per lb it doesnt seem like much but if the end result is between $40 - $75+ per batch for just the honey it can add up.
 
Yes it does add up. Rhianni. As I mentioned above I get $12 per quart for mine so for the the last batch I just put together it cost me $84 for the honey. Now granted I paid my honey fund the money but your point is still valid.

That said sometimes a $3 bottle of wine tastes like a $3 bottle of wine. I say up your odds that you are not going to get a $3 bottle of wine by using only the best bits.
 
FYI - We are starting to see the price of honey go up. Between CCD and extreme weather fluctuations in some parts of the country, our suppliers have raised prices, some as much as double last year's price.

So far, we have been able to offset most of the average increase by larger bulk purchases. We are trying to keep prices as low as possible as long as possible. However, we are looking at potentially needing to raise our own prices by September...
