Honey Bee Essay Contest


Show your love for honey bees and writing and possibly win some money!

NC first place winner is $50.00
First place national winner is $750.

Here's the topic:

"U.S. Honey: A Taste for Every Preference"
The taste and color of honey varies according to flowers where the bees gather the nectar. Each different type of plant will yield honey with a different taste. The same plants, growing in different soils and climates, can yield different honey. Investigate the local/regional honeys of the United States and see how they differ in taste and color. Is a honey dark with a rich flavor, or light in color and mild-tasting? One honey may be the choice for topping your pancakes; another may be best for baking cookies or cakes. Actual access to the honey for tasting is not required - just find out about some of the characteristics and write about them.
