2019 Essay Topic
“Honey Varietals, State to State”
Each jar of honey reflects an
unrepeatable combination of climate, soil, weather and flowers. Each state has
unique honey varietals that beekeepers can market to their customers. Please
identify one unique varietal to your state and discuss the flower’s uniqueness
and how beekeepers can effectively market that varietal. In your essay, please
include a photo of the varietal’s flower, an interview with a local beekeeper
who collects this varietal and a recipe that highlights the varietal. Personal interviews with beekeepers and others familiar with the
subject are valued sources of information and should be documented. Sources,
which are not cited in the endnotes, should be listed in a “Resources” or
“Bibliography” list.
An
essential judging criterion is the scope of research you put forth in
developing the ideas behind your essay—accounting for 40% of your score. The
number of sources consulted, the authority of the sources and the variety of the
sources are all evaluated. Personal interviews with beekeepers and others
familiar with the subject are valued sources of information and should be
documented.
