Sweet !

Just a quick post about the upcoming Honey Tasting at the KCFB Farm Fair.  In a collaborative fashion, the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture and the Kauai Beekeepers Association will be hosting a honey tasting, featuring local honey from some of Kauai's beekeepers, on opening night, Thursday August 25, 2011 in the Kauai Grown Ag Demonstration area located in the Ag & Livestock Area. Here's a link to a map of the fair. 

This event will be an opportunity for local honey producers to showcase their wares and for consumers to sample some of Kauai's finest and ask questions about honey production and meet local beekeepers. The HDOA Apiary Program folks like Danielle Downey  and Jacqui Robson will be there to share information about the state of honeybees in Hawaii. Honey from KBee members will be for sale at the KBee booth during the fair but not at the tasting. If you are interested in showcasing your honey or know someone who might, please contact Joyce Takahashi at 245 9072. 

We'll bee at the Fair all weekend long so stop by our booth if you have questions about beekeeping  ,want to purchase some honey or just like to talk story about the bee's knees. If you're free next Thursday, come on down to the fair and sample the sweetness of Kauai's bees.  Hope to see you there !
