Honey Show 2018

There was a very good turn out and a high standard of entries at this years honey show on Tuesday 27th November.

The judge was Alan Riach, the Scottish Beekeepers Association President.

Alan gave informative and amusing advice to the audience about the judging process as he carried out his duties.

The dreaded “dust” and the odd stray bubble were the downfall of a few entries but generally the exhibits were of a high standard.

There was good competition in most of the classes and prize certificates were awarded to a good number of different competitors.

The John Stoakley Memorial Cup was awarded to Jock Thomson and the Andrew Stewart Shield to Peter Stevenson.
