Nice job.
In my mind the yellow ribbon in a honey contest should go to first place.

Well, they’re backyard beekeepers who don’t sell. I like to think of them as honey hoarders. How dare they not share with me! I lasered an award for them and everything.
Bee fact: A single honey bee produces about 7 drops of honey (drops to a human) in its lifetime. I wonder how many bees it takes to make a pint of honey.
Correction: I regularly beekeep with the guy on the end. He gives me honey, so he’s my favorite person in the picture.

I used to keep Buckfast bees (a hybrid originating in the Buckfast Abbey in England). Rule of thumb was there were 60,000 of them in a hive (I had 2 hives) before winter set in and I stole their honey 
I can’t imagine hoarding it - we could never go through even a year’s production from those hives. We’d give it away to everyone we knew well enough to give a present to

That’s fantastic!
Right now, my bees are quarantined in the country to be re-queened. They got a little too feisty for the area and needed to be calmed.

We had a pool and the bees would always be grabbing a drink. My kids didn’t even notice. Friends would come over and get spooked. But I picked the Buckfast because they’re very non-aggressive so there wasn’t any real problem. It did provide a good opportunity to teach them about bees & show them the hives and counteract all the freaking out people do when encountering bees.
We just checked with parents to make sure no one was allergic & as an EMT I had EpiPens just in case. Never had a kid get stung though.
