Judges Display Best in Show Novelty Beeswax Entry

The majority of honey judges for the NJBA Annual Honey Show are drawn from a small pool of Master Beekeepers, state bee inspectors, and state extension agents. This year's judge was Dean Burroughs of Salisbury, Maryland. An Eastern Apicultural Society (EAS) of North America Master Beekeepers. Burroughs is a full-time beekeeper with hives for both pollination and honey production.

Burroughs is shown here holding the Best in Show entry, a flower made out of beeswax, while an assistant holds the Division Best and Best in Show ribbons.
