National Honey
Are you an aspiring apiarist? Imagine getting to see your jar of honey on display in the famous Arts & Crafts pavilion at the Sydney Royal Easter Show!
Not only would it be an unforgettable experience for you as an Exhibitor, but also it would be a fantastic way to showcase the hard work of your beautiful bees.
Apiculture, or beekeeping and honey, was first judged by the Agricultural Society in 1888. Honeybees arrived in the new colony in 1822 aboard the ship Isabella in order to provide the new settlers with one more comfort from home.
The Sydney Royal National Honey Show is one of Australia’s most prestigious honey competitions and the only one awarding gold, silver and bronze medals. Launched in 2010, the competition also assesses candles, beeswax, pollen and mead alongside chunk, comb, liquid, natural granulated and creamed honey.
