Expo Programs
North American Honey Bar
The NAHBE Honey Bar is a curated tasting experience showcasing the diversity of honey produced across North America. As participation allows, the Honey Bar may also feature honeys from other regions of the world, grouped under an “All Other” designation. Attendees are invited to sample honeys from a variety of regions and floral sources in a clean, educational, and non-competitive setting.
Unlike the Honey Show, the Honey Bar is not judged and does not include scoring or formal feedback. It is simply an opportunity to taste, explore, and appreciate the wide range of flavors, colors, and characteristics found in honey.
North American Honey & Beeswax Championship
A formal, judged competition where entries are evaluated against established standards and receive scores and awards. The honey show is open to any attendee of the 2027 North American Honey Bee Expo who wishes to enter one or more exhibits, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
Next-Generation Program & Silent Auction
Kamon Reynolds is excited to invite passionate young beekeepers to apply for the Next Gen Bee Program at the 2027 North American Honey Bee Expo (NAHBE)! This unique opportunity is designed to support and inspire the next generation of beekeepers—helping you grow into future leaders, mentors, and successful hive managers. We’re offering 60 sponsored spots this year!
The Silent Auction's purpose is to support the Next Gen Bee Program. The funds collected will go towards this program, which will help educate and inspire young men and women beekeepers.
Honey Swap & Honey Label Swap
The Honey Swap is an informal exchange where beekeepers trade honey directly with one another. Organized by Honeybee Tennessee, the Honey Swap will trade over 8,000 bottles each year from around the US!
