Yes and no. From what I read on a recent post by Linda on preparing honey for competition, the bees make the honey, but the beekeeper must make the honey beautiful in appearance. A certain type of jar, no smudges or fingerprints, no air bubbles, equal fill levels, etc.
Mark's OCD will go into overdrive, should we attempt to compete!
This photo appears at Things Organized Neatly on Tumblr, and is of the honey competition at the Minnesota State Fair. YOWZA! To see a very artful photo of a honey competition, visit What Should I Be Doing with My Bees This Month?
If you've had our honey and enjoyed it, we'd love for you to post your comments online. Our current plan is to harvest again at the end of this month, so if you didn't get any the first time around, you'll have a chance then. Thank you for your support!
We think Prairie Blossom Bee Farm honey is the best honey on the planet! We eat it on cornbread, on peanut butter sandwiches and even on tortilla chips. We also very much enjoy the witty Bee Blogger.
ReplyDeleteHey Honey, do you sell your honey online? p.s. I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteOK. How do I get me some honey? We need this. Also, you should do this contest! What good is OCD if it can't win you the occasional honey prize?
ReplyDeleteKeri... let Jacky and I know when your honey is ready. We are anxiously awaiting some and will drive over to buy some!!! Margaaret
