CATCH THE BUZZ

The Great Honey Hunt Begins

The Hoople Group, Zuula Consulting and The American Honey Producers present the rules for the biggest gathering of honey varietals in U.S. History

How it all began…

Working with our friends at Zuula Consulting, The Hoople Group contacted Mark Brady, president of the American Honey Producers Association (AHPA). Together we discussed our love for honey and our desire to help give great American honey the attention it finally deserves.

Together, we decided the best place to start: A contest to celebrate our country’s dedicated beekeepers by searching for the tastiest honey in the nation.

How does it work?

The Great American Honey Hunt will award prizes for small, medium and large producers and everyone making delicious, American-made honey is encouraged to enter.

Send us a 1lb. sample of your best honey and include the following details:

1. Your name and contact information.

2. The honey’s floral source and varietal.

3. The number of hives you maintain.

4. Your annual honey production.

Also, we’d love to get to know you and your honey better, so please share a little about who you are. Sample questions to answer:

1. How did you become interested in honey?

2. How long have you been producing honey?

3. What’s the funniest/scariest/most unbelievable experience you’ve had while making honey?

4. How do you feel about your bees?

5. Do you have any special or surprising honey recipes to share?

Please pack your honey carefully. We don't want to lose a drop!

Send it all to:
