CLICK HERE to see PREVIOUS WINNERS:

The Honey Tasting Contest is different than the Honey Show at the County Fair in that it allows attendees to vote on the TASTE of a honey, not its appearance. Jim Fraser will again coordinate the contest. MCBA members are encouraged to submit 8 oz. of their BEST TASTING honey. Jim will make the honey anonymous in appearance, so the tasting will be blind. At the end of the evening, the winner and runner up will be announced. Winners will have their name engraved on the perpetual trophy and receive an individual trophy. Runners up receiving the coveted Beekeeper Parking Only sign.

• TO ENTER:
• Any current member may submit their own honey to be judged for taste (to check your membership status, simply log-in to the website).  If you cannot attend in-person, you may send your entry with a friend.
• Bring a squeeze bottle of honey, 8-ounces will be enough. Jars should be unlabeled (for anonymity).
• Submit your bottle before 7:10 PM   at the table marked 'Honey Entries Here" in back of the meeting room.   Jim Frasier  or his helpers will assign your bottle a number.
• TO JUDGE:
  • Each attending member is invited to judge!
  • BRING a metal spoon for sampling & a reusable water bottle to reset your tastebuds. We will have disposable spoons and there is a drinking fountain, but MCBA encourages you to bee eco-friendly.
  • Each member who wants to judge will receive 2 poker chips
  • After tasting all the entries, members vote on their favorite 2 honeys by placing their poker chips in the corresponding boxes.
  • The honey earning the most chips wins BEST IN CLUB!  The honey’s beekeeper gets their name engraved on our amazing trophy, and bragging rights for a lifetime!
