Saulkrasti Beekeeper Wins Second Place at London Honey Competition

Valdis Janovs, a beekeeper from Saulkrasti municipality in Latvia, has won second place at the 95th National Honey Show in London, Britain's national honey competition. He received the award in the category "One jar of liquid honey". The Saulkrasti municipal government reported the result, which is one of the achievements of Latvian beekeepers at an international level.

About the competition

According to the Latvian Beekeeping Society, the international competition took place from 22 to 24 October. This year beekeepers from 23 countries took part, and the event is described as prestigious.

Janovs' results

In addition to second place in the liquid honey category, Valdis Janovs received a high rating in the category "Two jars of honey". The source does not specify what place or prize he received there.

Latvia's participation

Latvia was represented at the competition by 19 beekeepers. Together they won nine awards and commendations, one of which is Janovs' second place.

Where to buy

The municipality notes that Janovs' award-winning "Saulkrastu medus" (Saulkrasti honey) can be bought at the local tourist information centre in Saulkrasti. Interested buyers can therefore purchase the same honey that earned recognition at the competition in London.
