9 oz Glass Honey Bear Jars - 12 Count Case - Lids Included
The iconic honey bear shape in glass with gold lug cap, case of 12. The honey bear is the most recognizable honey package on American shelves — the glass version gives boutique honey the visual signal of artisan/premium while keeping the silhouette people already trust on sight.
Features
- 12 jars per case
- 12 matching gold metal lug caps included (58-LUG finish)
- 9 oz brimful / 8 fl oz practical fill capacity
- Holds about 12 oz of honey by weight
- Iconic honey bear shape, clear glass
- Plastisol-lined caps for acid-resistant vacuum seal
How it works in real life
The honey bear is a household visual — every American grocery shopper knows what's inside before they read the label. In glass instead of plastic, it shifts the perception upmarket: handcrafted, artisan, gift-worthy. Glass also takes labels better than squeeze plastic; the front wraps cleanly without deforming over time. At farmers markets, gift shops, and curated retail, the glass version commonly sells at a 30–50% premium over the squeezable plastic equivalent.
Before you order
The "9 oz" capacity refers to brimful volume — the actual practical fill is 8 fl oz, leaving a small headspace for the lid to draw its vacuum seal. By honey weight, that's about 12 oz of honey per filled jar. The 58-LUG cap has a plastisol liner that pulls a vacuum on any lug-finish jar; replacement lids must match 58-LUG (same as our 6 oz hex jars).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the title say "9 oz" if the jar only holds 8 fl oz?
Industry convention. Glass honey bears at this size are labeled by brimful capacity (9 oz). Practical fill with headspace for the lid is 8 fl oz. Honey weight per filled jar is about 12 oz.
Is glass better than plastic for honey?
Cleaner taste profile (no BPA or PET concerns), better label longevity, and a stronger visual signal of quality — at the cost of being breakable. Most beekeepers use glass for retail and gift; plastic for bulk and wholesale.
Will the lids interchange with other jars?
The 58-LUG cap matches our 6 oz hex jars, so lids are interchangeable between those two products. It does NOT fit the 1.5 oz hex (43-LUG), 9 oz hex (63-LUG), Muth jars (cork finish), or Skep jars (53 CT finish).
Is the jar food-safe for non-honey uses?
Yes — works for jam, syrup, molasses, sauces, infused honey, body butter, anything shelf-stable.
Is the bear available in amber glass?
Currently we stock clear flint only.
