We've Got Honey! And we sent it to LA!

A little bit of sweetness from Aurora, Colorado. So very proud of the Backyard Bees!

If we move to LA, HoneyLove.org is the beekeeping club we'll join. They're a 501(c)(3) that is very active in their community with a focused effort on legalizing urban beekeeping in LA. It surprised me that they'd accept a submission from Colorado, but the bigger surprise was that the Backyard Bees won first place! There were 18 honeys in the field from around the world, and our Linden-informed honey came out on top. Here are the details of the competition.
