3 September 2012 by Greg

For those of you that are NOT going to conference, but want to take part in the Honey Show, or the Honey Swap, please bring your items to the next meeting (Sept 10) and I will gladly take it to Conference.

Rules are on TBA’s website www.tnbeekeepers.org . The Honey Swap is simple … bring your labeled jar of honey (no larger than a pint) and you trade for a jar of honey from somewhere in the State.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Petra
