Top tips
- Create an attractive display that catches attention.
- A plain table with one jar type is less likely to attract buyers.
- Offer honey tasting where possible.
- Display photos of your apiary.
- Plan ahead. Customers often ask for set honey, heather honey, comb honey and chunk honey.
- Show awards, rosettes and prize cards to build trust.
- Save some honey for future shows and competitions.
- Offer other hive products such as candles, beeswax, creams and fudge.
- Cut comb honey usually sells well.
- Observation hives attract attention, but they must be secure and supervised.
- Talk to visitors and be ready to answer questions about your bees.
- Avoid passive selling. Engage with people.
- Bring plenty of change or accept card payments.
- Remember that Conwy Honey Fair is a unique privilege for local beekeepers.
- Enjoy the day.
Recommended minimum price: £8 per 454g jar of flower honey (2025 guidance). Prices for other sizes and products may vary.
