CARMEN CONRAD MEMORIAL HONEY CONTEST
Showcase your beekeeping skills at the 2026 Lithopolis Honeyfest Carmen Conrad Memorial Honey Contest! If you're an Ohio beekeeper, this is your chance to share the fruits of your apiary and compete for Best of Show. Whether you produce beautiful extracted honey, creamy honey, cut comb, beeswax, honey frames, or handcrafted beeswax and honey cosmetics, there's a class for you. Adult and youth exhibitors are encouraged to participate, with one entry per class, per household. All entries must be produced from your own apiary within the past 12 months. Bring your entries to the Wagnalls Community Building in Lithopolis on Thursday, September 10 (4:00–6:00 p.m.) or Friday, September 11 (8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.). Join fellow Ohio beekeepers, celebrate the art and science of beekeeping, and see how your hard work measures up in one of Honeyfest's favorite traditions!
