One container (minimum 8 ounces) of extracted honey for tasting only. A black bag will be provided. Honey will be judged on taste (and smell\, which is a big part of taste) only. \nNovice. One 1-lb. jar of extracted honey (any color). For entrants who have never won first prize at any honey show. Honey must be shown in clear glass\, 1-lb. queenline or gamber jar\, with a screw top or twist-off lid. No tamper-proof seals. Honey will be judged primarily on presentation. \nExtracted honey. Three 1-lb. jars of extracted honey (any color). Extracted honey must be shown in clear glass\, 1-lb. queenline or gamber jars\, with screw tops or twist-off lids\, all being identical. No tamper-proof seals. Honey will be judged primarily on presentation. \nWhether you are bringing honey for judging or just enjoying the fun and learning about the qualities and characteristics of honey\, this is bound to be a very fun time. See you there! \n \nWe will also hold a special raffle for the Union County Bee Club — theraffle item is a nuc\, for just $20! Only 25 tickets will be sold. \n  \n  \nGAB Minutes June 2015

SUMMARY:Monthly meeting -- Room 2218
DESCRIPTION:Hang on to your hats (veils)\, there are some fun things headed your way for our monthly meetings. In April\, Ricardo Diaz will talk with us about beekeeping in Honduras. Ricardo is studying beekeeping with Gary VanCleef for several months and we are lucky enough to have him coming to our club to share his stories with us. \nAfter Ricardo’s talk\, we will be breaking up into four groups\, led by Gary VanCleef (Region 1 Apiary Inspector Supervisor); Ryan Willingham (Apiary Inspector); Aparna Gazula (Commercial Horticulture Agent at UF/IFAS Alachua County Extension Service)\, who will address questions about the Cottage Industry rules as well as general questions; and Cecilia and Will (Welsh Honey Judges)\, who will discuss the format for the June meeting honey judging show. At the groups you will be able to ask questions about your own hives or just those thing about bees that tickle your curiosity. Pictures of something in your hive that mystifies you are welcome. Wandering between groups (quietly) is A-ok. \nGAB AGENDA April 2015 // GAB MINUTES April 2015 \nNOTE: WE WILL BE MEETING IN ROOM 2218 TO ACCOMMODATE BREAKING INTO GROUPS. SIGNS WILL BE POSTED.
