McComBees Apiaries

01/11/2026

Still smiling after an amazing week at the 2026 North American Honey Bee Expo in Louisville, Kentucky — the largest honey show in the world.

Proud to share that my team and I at McComBees Apiaries took 1st place in the Honey with BBQ Sauce category and placed in several additional categories against an incredibly competitive field from across North America.

The judge pictured is Kelsey Gerhardt of Evansville, Indiana — facebook.com/liquidgoldevv — one of many certified judges from across the country who was kind enough to suggest a photo during the public showing of the results.

And yes — the award-winning Honey BBQ Sauce will be available soon. Stay tuned.
