Honey Shows

Honey shows are often shunned by beginners as they do not understand the system or perhaps do not consider their products of adequate standard. Those standards can best be achieved by trial and failure as at each attempt you will learn something new, and be better prepared "next time"

Moray Beekeepers Honey Show 2009

 

To have a Honey Show when half of the county is literally under water with roads closed and bridges out ... for those who managed to get their entries into the show ... truly remarkable.

Many thanks to all those who made that extra effort to prepare and submit their entries this year ... 2009

Many thanks to you all !

 

Many thanks to our 'Show Secretary' ... Viv Hill ... whose efforts made the show possible
