Bristol Open Honey Festival - 28th, 29th, 30th August 2010 University of Bristol Botanic Garden
The Bristol Branch of Avon beekeepers Association is resurrecting its’ Open Honey Show after a gap of 3 years following the abandonment of the Bristol Flower Show, its former home on the Bristol Downs.
We are proud to be running this event ourselves at the new venue, the University of Bristol Botanic Garden. It will be part of a special Bank Holiday Weekend at the garden celebrating Bees and Pollination. More on this will be available on the Botanic Garden website at a later date.
Entrants to the competition will be aiming to win the prestigious and beautiful Bristol Silver Queen Trophy. This was first awarded in 1929 to Miss A B Flowers, a beekeeper from Salisbury, and beekeepers from as far as Scotland and Cornwall have won the trophy in the past. We are hoping that the new event will again attract beekeepers interested in producing high quality honeys and other hive products and we are pleased that Tom Salter MBE will be judging the entries.
Although the winner will not be able to take the trophy home due to its’ very high value, he/she will receive a commemorative photograph of the awarding of the trophy and also an engraved item of Bristol Blue Glass as a permanent memento.
