What moves the price
For honey, the drivers are filtration grade, airflow resistance, electrostatic charge, material layer count, roll width, DEXRON/MERCON spec, friction modifier package, viscosity — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale and retail-adjacent bulk honey quotes in the provided sources cluster around $1.23/lb at the low end (WebstaurantStore), $2.32/lb for a 60 lb wildflower pack, and $4.78/lb for 50 lb bucketed wildflower honey. USDA’s National Honey Report shows domestic bulk market ranges around $1.41-$1.48/lb for certain grades, which supports the lower wholesale band. Realistic supplier routes are domestic bulk packers/distributors for foodservice pails/drums, importers with FDA-compliant facilities, and private-label wholesale programs; moisture and grade/clarity/varietal differences move price more than "automotive" as an end market term
