Thanks partly to an upsurgence in interest in beekeeping, The National Honey Show was a great success, with good attendance both from experienced beekeepers, and newcomers.The standard of entries of honey, wax, mead, cakes, art and crafts was sky high; the trade exhibition hall was buzzing; and the London & Surrey Beekeepers' display with its observation hive in the Green Room was constantly packed with interested visitors.
One of our exhibitors hosted a visit from the High Commissioner from Mauritius; we also had Sky Channel 813 filming and interviewing people (including my Dad) and The Food Programme came along to make a programme about honey, which will be broadcast on Radio 4 on Sunday 8 November at 12.30, repeated at 4pm Monday, or you can listen again on the BBC iplayer. Don't miss it, or you'll have to wait another whole year for the next National Honey Show.
