Rod,

Great 👍 display of honey 🍯 products ! Thankz for sharing ! I’ve only entered one non-professional honey contest for fun. I places 3rd for taste only. It was only a local charity fundraiser contest.

I’m hoping this season will be more successful with my bees. We usually having only one large forage (blackberry) here in our region … if bees (numbers) are not ready or weather (too dry) bad we don’t get much harvest. (just to taste n enough hopeful to winter my colonies thru next winter.

Last summer got very hot n dry thus only harvested 1 1/2 gallon from 6 hives. Not very good but a taste ! 👍. Bees are more of a hobby for me … it’s nice to get honey but not a must. Kind of an old man/beekeeper therapy 😀…

Cheers n take care,

Gerald

Hi Gerald, I was fortunate to try some of your famed blackberry honey when I was in California earlier this year. Pretty good stuff and makes a great Mead too.
