SC - Honey question

[Philip & Susan Troy]

I have a mead recipe that I am trying to make, and I have a question 
regarding the quantity of honey to use.

The recipe calls for a quart of honey, but here honey is sold by the pound. 
How much honey would it take to equal a quart?  Do I just measure it like any 
other liquid? I am guessing that this would be more than three pounds of 
honey which seems a lot for a one gallon batch of mead.

Thanks,

Ilia
