Karla Eisen

Re-invigorating honey shows in Virginia is one of Karla’s great passions.  She is the chair of the EAS Honey Show Advisory Committee and served as a judge for the 2016-2018 and 2022 EAS honey shows as well as for other shows in the mid-Atlantic. Humbled by the expert craftsman/craftswomen who have guided her, she obtained certification as a Florida honey judge from the University of Florida in 2019. Her and her husband started a small not for profit which still maintains consolidated information about excellence in honey and hive products- ApiSolutions Consortium.
