Yes it is the highlight of the beekeeping year here in Dorchester and Weymouth - the Dorset County Show.
The schedule for the Honey Show is now available here and for those who wish to enter the entry form is here. For those who downloaded the schedule before the evening of the 1st August then I suggest downloading it again.
OK so your harvest was not up to much and you don't think you have any honey to enter then how about making some fudge or a honey cake or even a tin of polish - there are entry classes for all of these and many more.
