October 2013: This years honey show

We are really quite lucky in Epsom to have the National Honey show at St. George's College, Weybridge each year.  Whilst its not quite on our door step the 20 minute drive makes it very accessible, and an easy day trip out.

What an amazing amount of honey was there on show!

And an amazing amount of silverware...

Waiting for those who are brave enough to submit to the scrutiny of the honey judges...

Last year Epsom entered 6 jars of honey into the class for six matching jars from one apiary and won!

With a much bigger harvest this year we were hopeful of similar success.  Sadly it wasn't to be - no place at all.

Still we can stand back and admire all the glorious honeys...light, dark, creamed an set...

 

 




Not to mention the interesting displays of honey related products...

 

and the honey and bee keeping related exhibits...

And beeswax...

And now full of inspiration we're off to make a plan for next year.....
