Congratulations to Jerry Herting for winning Best in Show! at the Florida State Fair Honey Show. Below is the photograph entry he made with description.

"Heather's Bee Cottage",   Heather Gamper, noted for getting extended use 
from wooden hive ware, put this vintage Nuc into service last summer to 
start a nucleus colony.  The pole on the left props up the top cover for 
ventilation.  The landing platform rotates up to close the entry - useful 
when transporting the Nuc.

Are you interested in having the Apalachee Beekeeping Association participate in one of your events? We can provide information on bees and beekeeping and also sell honey as a fundraiser for our association. If you would like to schedule a table or representative please email: scheduleapalacheebee@gmail.com
