Try Freeman and Harding. They offer a discount for members of the BBKA.

Steve I bought mine from https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/glassjarsfromjarsdirect?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2563
Not especially cheap but I had run out as I thought I already had a spare box when I realised I used them for jams and spices etc.!!!!
If you call them they may give a good discount for a big order??!!
Good Luck:)

Just managed to make a order from C Wynne Jones but I could only order three boxes of 84 jars..what a pain in the butt as I need double that again and each time I order three boxes I will be paying horendous delivery costs.

Would anyone like to get together and make a bulk order of a pallet of jars ? I am in Teesside.

Just had a pallet delivered last month, so not for me. I'm told the shortage of 12oz is a temporary issue. It had better be :)

Freeman and Harding are waiting for 12 oz hex to be made - October some time. I should have enough to last 'till then.

A little off thread, but what are you charging for a 12oz of honey please?

£5-7 in hex jars is our local area level.
