BCBA Honey, Wax and Crafts Contest Update

The Club Contest will be at the November meeting.    All entries must be submitted between 5:00-5:30.   

You are strongly encouraged to read the content rules / criteria.

There are many categories to choose from this year to include three new categories: photography, arts and crafts and black jar honey.

If you are entering honey in the light, amber and dark honey categories the club does provide jars.   (Note: We exchanged the jars that had some bubbles in the glass for new jars.  They will be at the October meeting or just reach out to Dave Elsen).     The Club retains the honey entries and uses for future events or donations.
