A fabulous turn-out for our annual Honey Show at our new venue, the hall at the Bruderhof Community. There was plenty of room for all the great entries despite the 'challenging' season and the usual, irresistibly scrumptious catering by our hosts. Naughty me did not bring the big camera, so some of the pictures are a bit wobbly. Apologies for that and if you took any nice ones at the show,
email me and I'll add them.

Is honey show something like pumpkin or watermelon show where they are judged on the basis of their size, quantity and taste? Because I have never heard of such thing before.
ReplyDeleteAs somebody who has contributed a considerable measure of exertion as a honey bee attendant, it is such a delight to be compensated with great outcomes. Not exclusively do you get the opportunity to deliver normal, straight from-the-brush honey, you will likewise have the capacity to make a benefit out of them.Best honey extractors
ReplyDeleteIt has been estimated that up to 30 percent of the food that humans consume around the world is reliant upon pollination by bees. However, we are just as likely to find bumblebees in our gardens as honey bees; how do these two types of bees differ?bee hive queen for sale
