Congratulations James Cochran: Fall Conference Honey Tasting Winner!

James Cochran of Pikeville has the best tasting honey of the 20 entries from all across the state at the November 9 KSBA conference held in London, Kentucky. The contest was organized by Bonnie Joseph Crawford, President of the Southeastern Kentucky Beekeepers Association. She designed the contest so all entries were anonymous by transferring the honey to identical black jars. Then, all who attended the conference got to taste each of the 20 and pick their favorite.

James' honey received the most votes. This is indeed an honor since beekeepers from all over the state participated in this contest and beekeepers themselves did the blind test vote.

Congratulations, James! We look forward to hopefully tasting more of your honey at the next KSBA Conference in 2025!
