FDBKA Honey Show



Fareham Honey Show - St Johns Church Hall, Redlands Lane, Fareham 15 September 2018
A BIG THANK YOU!
….to everyone who entered our FDBKA Honey Show this year or attended. We were very pleased with our 140 entries.
Our Honey judge was also impressed with the large number of entries.
He commented individually on some of the show cards but made the following general comments:-
Remember to keep the label well down the jar
Some lids were not in good condition
Keep the top of the honey free from residue.
See you next year!
