Hello Leah,
Honey weighs roughly 1.5 times the weight of water depending on the moisture
content. APISERVICES uses 1.42 times the weight of water. So, a gallon
weighs somewhere around 11 - 12 lbs. A gallon of water weighs 8.345264
Pounds. For ALL KINDS of weight and volume answers regarding honey and the
