2 oz Glass Jars are great for holding sample amounts of honey. Compatible with 43 mm lug lids, sold separately.
Does not qualify for free shipping.
All glass jars ship at your own risk of damage. By law, honey is sold by weight, not volume. All sizes shown are honey weight which is not equivalent to liquid volume. For example, a 12 oz container will hold 12 oz of honey but only 8 oz of water.
Where a 2 oz Glass Jar Earns Its Place
Most shoppers want to taste before committing to a full-size jar. As a family-run beekeeping supplier, Meyer Bees carries this 2 oz glass jar for sample-sized honey, making that first taste an easy yes.
Here’s where it also works best:
- Varietal comparisons: Line up several honeys and let buyers taste how flavor and color change from one floral source to the next.
- Gifts and favors: Hand wedding guests a small, giftable portion to take home.
- Small batches: Bottle a little from a new harvest without opening a full-size container.
- Label tests: Run a new label design on a short batch before you print for bigger jars.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I leave headspace when filling a jar?
Yes, but only a little. Fill to just below the lid, not the brim. The gap lets the lid seal cleanly and keeps the rim free of drips, which matters when you’re handing out gifts.
Why does raw honey crystallize?
Honey is primarily made up of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose, with glucose gradually separating and forming crystals over time. Floral source matters, and some honeys set up faster than others. It’s still safe to eat. Set the jar in warm water and stir gently until it clears, and skip the microwave, since high heat dulls the flavor.
Does honey expire?
Properly stored honey doesn’t spoil. Low moisture and natural acidity keep microbes from growing, and a best-by date reflects peak quality. Over the years, honey may darken or crystallize, but that’s a change in color and texture, not spoilage.
Where should I store filled honey jars?
On a pantry shelf, sealed tightly, protected from direct sunlight, and kept away from the stove. Skip the fridge, since cold temperatures speed up crystallization.
Should I wash a new 2 oz glass jar before filling it?
Yes. Wash it thoroughly with hot, soapy water, rinse it well, sanitize it, and let it dry completely. Leftover water can mix into your honey, and honey with extra moisture is more prone to fermenting.
