3 oz Glass Skep Honey Jars - Case of 24 with Lids

Mini skep-shaped glass jars sized for 3 oz of honey by weight — case of 24 with lids included. The classic beehive silhouette gives small-batch honey, sampler sets, and wedding favors a presentation that does the marketing for you.

Features

• 3 oz of honey by weight per jar (about 2 fl oz volume capacity)
• Classic skep (beehive) shape with smooth flat front and back for labels
• High-quality clear glass — food safe
• 43-2010 Lug-style lids included (quarter-turn closure, not screw-on)
• Case of 24 — efficient for events, gift sets, and small-batch bottling
• Coordinates with our 12 oz Skep jar for matching product lines

How it works in real life

The 3 oz Skep jar is a sampler-size workhorse. Beekeepers reach for these for honey tasting flights, wedding and event favors, gift basket fillers, and farmers market sampler bundles. The shape catches eyes on a table the way a square jar never will, and the flat front and back take a custom label cleanly. If you bottle full-size honey in the matching 12 oz Skep, the 3 oz makes a natural gift-set companion piece.

Before you order

The 3 oz designation is the weight of honey the jar holds, not its fluid volume — there's about 2 fl oz of headspace. Order lids and labels in matching quantities; a case of 24 is plenty for a market table or a small event but goes fast at a busy weekend.

Pairs Well With

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called a "3 oz" jar if it only holds 2 fl oz?

Honey jars are labeled by the weight of honey they hold, not fluid volume. Honey is roughly 1.5× denser than water, so 3 oz of honey by weight fits in about 2 fl oz of volume. The jar is sized to hold a full 3 oz weight with a small amount of headspace at the top.

What is a Lug closure?

A lug closure (sometimes called a twist-off) is the quarter-turn style cap you'll recognize from grocery store pickle, jam, and salsa jars. Unlike a continuous-thread screw cap that you turn multiple times, a lug cap engages a few small tabs on the jar mouth with a quarter turn. It seals well, opens easily, and is the standard closure style for skep honey jars. The 43-2010 designation is the standard industry spec for this specific lug size.

Are these dishwasher safe?

The glass jars are dishwasher safe. The lids are best hand-washed to keep the finish in good shape. Most beekeepers don't reuse honey jars for resale (food safety records start fresh with new jars), but you can absolutely wash and reuse them for home storage or gifting.

Will my labels fit the skep shape?

The front and back of the jar have flat panels designed specifically for labels. The curved sides and top of the skep won't take a flat label cleanly, so design your labels for the flat front-and-back panels — most label-printing services have a skep jar template if you ask.

Are these good for honey at farmers markets?

Yes — the 3 oz Skep is one of our most popular jars for market sampler sets and small-batch sales. The shape stands out on a crowded table, and the smaller size lets you offer a tasting price point alongside your full-size 12 oz or 1 lb jars.

Do you sell matching larger sizes?

Yes — our 12 oz Glass Skep Honey Jars share the same silhouette and label design language. Together they make a coordinated gift-set or product line.
