Pam's Pie...

For those who were unable to attend the November meeting and honey recipe contest, here's a peek at a bit of what you missed.  This gorgeous pie was baked by our own first lady, Pam Rys!  This is Pam's ginger, honey and pumpkin pie and it took second place in our honey recipe contest.   
The first place winner was our treasurer, Cheryl Robare who made her Nutella and honey baklava.  Needless to say, it did not last long enough to snap a photo.  Third place was taken by club member Lora Sandhusen who made a honey spice cake.  All three ladies were awarded nice cash prizes and everyone who attended was able to sample these fine desserts as well as a few others.

Bee well!

November Meeting & Recipe Contest...


        HCBA November Meeting
&
HONEY RECIPE CONTEST

When: Thursday November 14th
Starting at 7:00pm

Where:  Willimanset Heights Improvement League (WHIL)
118 Mount Vernon Rd.
Chicopee, MA 01013

It’s time for our November meeting.  This time of year the activity in your hives is winding down.  The colder weather will start the bees to cluster.  It’s time for us to put entrance reducers on the hives and make sure our equipment is properly stored for winter.  And since the bees need less management now, we should all have some free time on our hands (right? or yeah, right!).

Our November meeting theme is going to be our HONEY RECIPE CONTEST!  The rules are simple…  Bring a dish of your choice, and the recipe MUST include honey.  There will be three categories: Appetizer, EntrĂ©e, and Dessert.  Each member can enter as many dishes as they wish.  Everyone who attends the meeting will have the opportunity to try all the made with honey goodies, and then we’ll vote for our favorites.  There will be a first place winner in EACH category and the winners will receive….
$50 CASH!!!

Please bring a label for your dish so we can see the name of your recipe and make voting easier.  Please consider making “sample” size servings of your recipe so everyone can get a taste.  If you’d like to share your recipe with the club, please bring copies.  Winning recipes will be posted on the blog. 
     
Bee well!
