So we recently entered our first honey show and were marked down for honey on the lid and a small fleck of wax in one of the jars. How do I improve for next time? I used a two stage stainless filter and bottled after letting the honey sit for a while. Shined a flashlight behind it, but missed the wax fleck. Also, I put plastic wrap over the bottle before screwing on the lid, then replaced that cap with a new one when removing the plastic wrap at the show grounds. Had I not screwed up these two items, I might have had a shot at BIS.

It's seriously driving me nuts. I am a perfectionist and a former pilot, hence the "no points for second place" attitude.
