Honey Show 2021 Yes, it’s called a honey show, but this highlight of the beekeeping calendar is not restricted to just honey. We have categories for cakes (made with honey), mead (made with honey), photographs (made with honey, no just kidding) and a category for any other things that you have made with honey or bee products it’s great fun so get your thinking caps on and don’t forget to bring your things along in December.
