HONEY SHOWS in Sept and Oct
The Comber Horticultural Annual Show is scheduled for Saturday, 13th September.
As part of the many categories of entries (flowers, plants, baking, preserves, crafts, etc etc), there is a special category for honey and beehive products!
It is a great show and for Killinchy Beekeepers, it is right in our backyard so we hope there will be stellar participation from the KBKA membership.
It's a great opportunity to get feedback on your honey in a relaxed atmosphere.
You can also attend the renowned afternoon tea catered by our own very busy Sue Farmer!
We encourage entries to all sections.
