8 oz Glass Classic Honey Jar
The 8 oz Queenline Glass Jar is a half-pound honey container built around one of the most recognizable shapes in beekeeping retail. The smooth, round sides and wide-mouth opening make it easy to fill, easy to label, and easy for customers to hold. Clear glass with no coatings or tints — whatever color your honey is, that's exactly what buyers see.
One thing worth knowing before you order: this jar holds approximately 5.34 fluid ounces by volume, but it's sold and labeled as an 8 oz honey jar because honey is heavier than water. A full jar weighs approximately 8 oz (226 grams), or about 2/3 cup. If you're used to thinking in fluid ounces, that difference matters — especially when you're calculating how many jars you need for a harvest.
Key Features
- Classic queenline shape — smooth round sides and wide mouth, the traditional form associated with honey retail for generations.
- 8 oz honey capacity by weight — holds approximately 226 grams (2/3 cup) of honey; approximately 5.34 fl oz by volume.
- 24 jars per case — standard case quantity for hobbyists and small-batch producers bottling by the harvest.
- 48mm lid compatible — fits standard 48mm lids sold separately. We carry the 48mm Metal Jar Lid and 48mm White Plastic Lids.
- Wide-mouth opening — easier to fill cleanly, especially with a bottling bucket or gate valve.
- Clear glass construction — no tint or coating, so honey color reads true at the point of sale.
Use Case
The 8 oz size is one of the most popular choices for farmers markets and gift sets — it's a meaningful amount of honey at a price point that moves. It's also a good size for sampler packs if you're selling varietal honeys side by side. If you're unsure how many jars you'll need for a harvest, use our honey jar calculator to estimate before you order.
Shipping Note
Glass jars are available for local pickup at our Irondale, Alabama store, or can be shipped via ground or freight. Shipping glass is at the customer's risk — we're not responsible for breakage in transit, but you can add shipping insurance at checkout.
