Honey Judge Training & Certification (Levels 1-3)

The American Honey Show Training Council will be holding Honey Judge Training & Certification Classes at the UF/IFAS 2025 Bee College in Gainesville, FL, on March 20th & 21st. Honey Judging is a fascinating, detail-oriented pursuit. If you like to learn, if you like to teach, if you like to see the coolest stuff before anyone else does, honey judging might be right for you!

Join us in Gainesville, FL, for this exciting event! This program is perfect for honey enthusiasts looking to enhance their knowledge and skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced beekeeper, our comprehensive program is appropriate for any level of beekeeping experience!

During this event, you'll learn about the science of honey judging, from the basics to advanced techniques. Our expert instructors will cover topics such as

  • food safety and hygiene,
  • proper harvesting, processing, and handling,
  • honey show logistics and administration, and
  • proper judging etiquette, ethics, and techniques.

This class is the first step on the road to becoming an AHSTC Certified Honey Judge! The Intro Training Class (Level 1) is a day-long event. At the conclusion of the Level 1 class, participants will be a certified Honey Judge Candidate. There are a number of steps Honey Judge Candidates must complete before becoming eligible to sit for the (Level 2) Certified Honey Judge Exam. You can check out our website at www.honeyshowusa.com for complete program requirements. It takes most individuals 12-18 months to complete the requirements to sit for the (Level 2) Certified Honey Judge Exam.
