2023 4-H Beekeeping Essay DUE via 4-H Online
April 3, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
4-H members do not have to have a bee project to participate in the essay contest.
The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc. on February 15th announced their 2023 4-H Beekeeping Essay Topic.
2023 Essay Topic: The Importance of Beeswax
Although honey bees are much-beloved for honey, bees also produce beeswax that can be used in many ways. For this essay, a 4-H student should discuss why beeswax is so important to the hive (it’s a pantry, it’s a nursery, it’s the dance floor), but also discuss their favorite way to use beeswax outside the hive. Photos of candles, soaps, or lip balms that are made to show the 4-H’er’s skill in using beeswax are welcomed as are recipes or brief instructions.
Contest information can be found at https://texas4-h.tamu.edu/projects/entomology/.
Essays will be uploaded to 4HOnline using the “2023 4-H Beekeeping Essay Contest” event. Deadline to submit is Monday, April 3, 2023. Winners will be announced the week of April 24th.
