Every Summer (usually August) the Bristol Beekeepers runs a Honey Show as part of the Bee and Pollination Festival, which is hosted by the University of Bristol Botanic Garden.

The Honey Show is a competitive display of honey and bee products from members, however both members and non-members are encouraged to attend as the Festival offers talks and stalls covering a range of topics and products relating to plant pollination. As well as the Honey Show we also have a large presence at the Festival with sales of our members’ honey, activities for children, an observation hive and much more. For those members interested in selling honey, please see the BBKA website for guidance on legislation that must be followed.

If you are a member and would like to find out more about exhibiting please contact our Secretary. Prizes are awarded during the weekend. You do not need to be an experienced keeper to exhibit and there are plenty of exhibit categories in the schedule to pick from. Every year we also rely on our members to support with running of the event. If you are interested in helping with this we will provide an opportunity to sign up closer to the date.
