New Packaging Solutions for Beekeepers and Apiaries

New Packaging Solutions for Beekeepers and Apiaries

The right honey bottle does more than hold your product. It can make honey easier to dispense, help it stand out at a farmers' market or on a retail shelf, and give customers the right amount for the way they shop.

And just like no two harvests are exactly alike, there’s no single bottle that’s right for every beekeeper.

That’s why ePackageSupply is expanding our honey packaging lineup with new sizes and styles, giving hobbyist beekeepers, growing apiaries, farmers’ market vendors, and commercial honey producers even more options.

From classic honey bears to easy-grip bulk bottles, here’s how to find the right fit for your honey.

A Classic Favorite, Now in More Sizes

There’s a reason the honey bear has become one of the most recognizable ways to package honey. Its familiar shape immediately connects the container to what’s inside, while crystal-clear PET puts the honey’s natural color on display.

For beekeepers selling at farmers’ markets, farm stands, retail locations, or directly to customers, our expanded Bear bottle selection provides even more ways to use that familiar shape.

ePackageSupply’s current lineup includes 12 oz. and 24 oz. Honey Bear bottles giving producers several sizes for retail and direct-to-consumer sales. Now, two new Honey Bear bottles give producers even more ways to build out that lineup.

New Size

8 oz. Rectangle Panel Honey Bear

Our new 8 oz. (½ lb. honey fill) Honey Bear gives apiaries a smaller-format option for customers who don’t need a full-size bottle.

Its rectangular panels provide flat surfaces for clean label application, while its compact size makes it especially useful for samples, gift baskets, wedding favors, and farmers’ market impulse purchases.

Best for: Samples, gifts, favors, farmers’ markets, and smaller quantities.

48 oz. Flat Panel Honey Bear

The new 48 oz. (3 lb. honey fill) Flat Panel Honey Bear brings the classic honey bear silhouette to a larger, family-size format.

Flat front and back panels provide space for labels, while the larger capacity gives beekeepers another option for customers looking to purchase more honey at once.

Best for: Family-size quantities, repeat customers, larger retail offerings, and value formats.

How Beekeepers & Apiaries Use Honey Bear Bottles

Honey Bear bottles give producers a recognizable packaging option that can be used across different sizes, sales channels, and customer needs.

Farmers’ Market Sales

Beekeepers can use Bear bottles for local and direct-to-consumer sales where the familiar honey shape is easy for shoppers to recognize.

Samples & Gifts

Smaller sizes, including the new 8 oz. bottle, give apiaries an option for samples, gift baskets, favors, and smaller purchases.

Family-Size Offerings

Larger formats like the new 48 oz. Honey Bear let producers offer more honey to repeat customers and households that prefer larger quantities.

Make Your Honey Stand Out

When the package itself is part of the presentation, Honeycomb bottles offer another option.

ePackageSupply’s current lineup includes 12 oz., 16 oz., and 32 oz. Honeycomb bottles, giving producers several sizes for retail and direct-to-consumer sales. Now, two new Honeycomb Hourglass sizes give producers even more ways to build out that lineup.

New

24 oz. Honeycomb Hourglass

The 24 oz. (1½ lb. honey fill) Honeycomb Hourglass features embossed honeycomb detailing and a contoured waist that creates a natural grip point.

Its mid-size capacity falls between smaller everyday bottles and larger family-size options, giving apiaries another way to build out their product lineup.

Best for: Farmers’ markets, specialty honey, mid-size retail offerings, and gift-ready products.

How Beekeepers & Apiaries Use Honeycomb Bottles

Honeycomb bottles combine a honey-inspired design with multiple size options, giving producers another way to package products for retail and direct sales.

Farmers’ Markets & Retail

Apiaries can use the embossed honeycomb design to create a distinctive presentation while crystal-clear PET keeps the honey visible.

Specialty Honey

The distinctive bottle shape can help producers differentiate specialty varieties, seasonal harvests, and gift-ready products.

More Size Choices

With new 24 oz. and 48 oz. Hour Glass options joining the lineup, beekeepers can offer additional quantities and price points to their customers.

Go Bigger Without Making Pouring Harder

 

For customers who buy honey in larger quantities, capacity is only part of the equation.

Once a bottle holds several pounds of honey, it also needs to be comfortable to handle. That’s where our new Easy Grip bottles come in.

Their square profiles feature integrated grips designed to make larger quantities easier to hold and pour. The square footprint also packs efficiently on shelves and in shipping cartons.

New

3 lb. Easy Grip Bottle

The new 3 lb. (48 oz. honey fill) Easy Grip bottle offers apiaries a practical mid-bulk format.

Its square profile includes an integrated grip for easier handling and pouring, while its crystal-clear PET construction keeps the honey visible.

Best for: Repeat customers, family-size quantities, mid-bulk sales, and growing apiaries.

5 lb. Easy Grip Bottle

For higher-volume customers, the 5 lb. (80 oz. honey fill) Easy Grip bottle provides even more capacity while maintaining the integrated-grip design.

The grip helps make a heavier five-pound fill more manageable for customers to hold and pour.

Best for: Bulk honey buyers, high-volume customers, families, and frequent honey users.

Shop 5 lb. Easy Grip

How Beekeepers & Apiaries Use Easy Grip Bottles

The new 3 lb. and 5 lb. Easy Grip bottles give honey producers a practical option for customers who want to purchase larger quantities.

Larger-Quantity Sales

Apiaries can offer three- and five-pound quantities to customers who want more honey without moving to bucket-style packaging.

Repeat Customers

Larger Easy Grip sizes provide another option for loyal customers, families, and frequent honey users who regularly purchase more at once.

Easier Handling

The integrated grip helps make heavier honey fills easier to hold and pour, while the square profile packs efficiently on shelves and in shipping cartons.

Convenience Starts at the Spout

For some customers, the right bottle isn’t about standing out or holding the most honey. It’s about making honey easier to use.

Inverted QueenLine bottles store honey cap-down so the product remains near the spout and ready to dispense.

ePackageSupply currently offers a 16 oz. Inverted QueenLine, and the new 12 oz. (¾ lb. honey fill) Inverted QueenLine adds a smaller option to the lineup.

New Size

12 oz. Inverted QueenLine

The compact 12 oz. size combines convenient dispensing with a smaller retail format that’s well suited for farmers’ markets and specialty honey products.

Its QueenLine silhouette also provides flat areas for labels, giving producers room to add their branding.

Best for: Everyday honey, farmers’ markets, specialty products, smaller retail quantities, and easy dispensing.

Shop 12 oz. QueenLine

How Beekeepers & Apiaries Use Inverted QueenLine Bottles

Inverted QueenLine bottles give honey producers a retail packaging option designed around convenient, everyday dispensing.

Everyday Honey

Apiaries can use QueenLine bottles for honey intended for regular household use, with the cap-down design keeping honey near the spout.

Farmers’ Markets & Retail

The clear PET bottle keeps the honey visible while flat areas provide room for apiary branding and product labels.

Different Retail Sizes

Pairing the new 12 oz. size with the existing 16 oz. option gives producers more flexibility when choosing quantities for their customers.
