We hold these truths about shopping for honey:

• It’s heavy and expensive to ship
• It should only travel in food-safe plastic in case you drop it.
• The golden goose is getting real honey at $3 a pound, but the only reasonable way to do that these days is to buy in bulk. Honey is 12 lbs per gallon. You can go in with friends to buy a 60 lb. pail – that’s only 5 gallons.
