Preparing Honey for Show

by Dr. Eoghan Mac Giolla Coda, Beemaster
 
Eoghan gave us an excellent lecture on how to approach participation in the Honey Show. His main tips were:

• Read the requirements very carefully and follow them to the letter.
• Make sure you use the correct jar and lid, as required by the rules.
  
• Warm the honey and strain it through a fine mesh (or a few layers of muslin)
• Make sure your jars are clean and your honey is clear.
• When entering your honey, if you're not sure, ask if your honey is dark, medium or light.
• For beginners, participate in the novice class(es) as a way to get experience
• If you're not confident about making your honey look good, if you have honey with a good taste, enter it into the tasting class.

But most important of all, join in!
