#Honey see, Honey show #hivelife

Have you ever wondered how a honey show works?

We were honored to participate in the honey show at the 2022 Hive Life Conference. This was our 3rd honey show and this video was designed to show our viewers our process to prepare for this honey show and all the intricacies involved.

If you have feedback or tips on how you prepare for a show that we don’t cover in this video please share in the comments.

Remember beekeeping is local, our videos outline what works for us and are not intended to be a prescription for your bee colonies or how to operate your apiary. Although these concepts are generally endorsed by many beekeepers you have to listen, watch, and learn from your bees as well as other resources in the craft of beekeeping.
