[parkranger]

Trying to decide on jar size for wedding favours. Can anyone tell me how many oz in a 45 or 55 ml hex jar plse?

Ths says 1.5 oz


They are very cute.

Will everyone open them to taste them at the wedding and make a sticky mess of everything? Is it outdoors near hives?

I bought some

45ml MINI ROUND JAR

and generally I find they hold 50g approx 1.76oz

Found a nice little label for them and use them for sample jars.

Thanks all digging and Yorkshire.

Decided to go with 55ml hex jars from Winnie's.
hopefully no-one will want to try it on the day and get sticky in their best attire.

Density of honey relative to water is 1.36. So 1.5 fl oz of honey should weigh 2.2 oz

The smallest glass jars Thornes do, they claim to be 1 and a half oz (42g) for honey. That's probably manufactured as 30ml. I think those are the ones you see occasionally on hotel breakfast buffets. There's a plastic 1 oz (28g) but looks a little mean, probably 20 ml.

Having used these as sample jags and seen the mess some people get into opening them, I would not recommend them for any one who might be 'tired and emotional'!

Good luck with the wedding!

You could give everyone a tiny packet of phacelia seeds too to help the bees.

A much better idea. The wieght of all those tiny jars has to be a consideration. Perhaps the honey should be reserved for the immediate family only. Bee friendly flower seeds could be great and a lot less messy. if a few varieties are used some good conversations could be started and maybe swaps arranged.

Great idea.
Can anybody point me to a deal for 100 packets?
