Due to last monthās bad weather, our program on the visual evaluation of honey for competition has been rescheduled for this monthās meeting. See guidelines below.

Members are encouraged to bring some of their own honey to be evaluated by Kelsey Gerhardt, an experienced judge who uses the Welch System for Honey judging. (This is for educational purposes only; it is not an official competition).
Guidelines for Bringing Your Honey:
- Bring honey in a 1-pound clear glass jar, no plastic containers

- No Queen Line jarā¦ Use something similarā¦ Must be clear glass
- Labeling: NO Label is preferred, but a labeled jar will be allowed
- Place an identifier on the bottom of the jar.
