Not surprised. I buy the unpasteurized tubs of honey in my grocery store. They have the sticker with the local beekeeper's name, address and phone number.

I buy my everyday use raw honey from a local in county bee keeper that rents space at in a market at Easter time. I noticed this year they were at the fair too but were much more expensive. I will sometimes pamper myself with fair trade raw honey from Zambia. It is very good but has a very strong flavor. The jar was unbelievably expensive so I use it sparingly.
