Georgia State Honey Show

The Georgia Beekeepers Association holds the Georgia State Honey Show at our annual fall meeting. Our Honey Show is like none other in the country. Robert Brewer, our very own Certified Welsh Honey Judge oversees the show every year.

The winners of the show not only will be able to go away with ribbons, and the pride of having the best Honey in Georgia. We also award $700 in prize money!
