We look forward to seeing you at the 2024 Fair September 6th to 15th.
2023 Kansas State Fair was a huge success!
A big thank you to all the volunteers that helped man the KHPA booth. We know it takes a lot of effort and we really appreciate you taking the time to help us. Each year we sponsor a booth at the fair in the Pride of Kansas Building. It is our way to promote honey bees and their products. Come learn and grow with us by volunteering next year!
Each year there are options to compete with your honey and wax products. Check back in early summer to find info and a link here for entering your prize winning products at the Kansas State Fair. 2023 State Fair winners list.
Notes on correct fill level:
The correct fill level on a “Queen-line” or “Classic” style honey jar is at the top of the fill ring of each jar. The fill ring is the raised ridge or ring of glass immediately herein the shoulder of the jar, and herein the closure threads. It can be distinguished from the threads in two ways: a) the fill ring forms a complete circle, without ends; and b) the fill ring will be completely parallel with the bottom and top of the jar.
There should be enough honey in the jar to reach the top of the fill ring, without going over. . Liquid honey in a circular shape forms a concave surface sometimes referred to as a meniscus.
For purposes of filling jars containing liquid honey (including chunk comb entries) for exhibition, the edge of the meniscus should meet the top of the fill ring. Jars of creamed honey should be filled to the top edge of the fill ring. A jar of honey being over-filled is preferable to one being under-filled.
