NOTES TO MCBA:
- If you can volunteer to help with this event, please contact MCBA President Leon Vandenberg.
- Only Current Members who volunteer at least 2 hours can sign-up to have their own honey (or other products of the hive) sold in the Brookside Nature Center meeting room.
- Consignors must follow THESE RULES (click here), which include labeling, packaging, and logistics of the consigned honey. Beekeepers keep 90% of their own proceeds, and 10% goes to supporting MCBA. MCBA will handle both cash and credit card sales, and will send members their net sales within six weeks.
- Jamie and her husband will be making mead at this festival. For each pound of honey you donate to them, you'll get two, 12 oz. bottles of mead. If interested, contact Jamie in advance.
