The first course was held in 1955. Since around 1986, it has been held at Simon Fraser University and offered jointly by the BC government and SFU's Department of Biological Sciences. Early courses were lengthier to include a field trip to a beekeeping location, while later courses dropped the field trip component and thus shortened to five days in length.

Sub-series comprises originals and copies of material relating to the history of honey judging and the courses developed to train honey judges in British Columbia. The need for honey judges grew out of the desire to promote honey and its uses at various exhibitions in BC, and in particular the Pacific National Exhibition at Vancouver and the Interior Provincial Exhibition at Armstrong. As early as the 1920s, a score card was developed to rank honey on a standardized scale and was used into the 1950s. The Canadian Beekeepers Council, established in the 1940s, also developed a score card allowing for the judging of honey at a national level. By the mid-1960s in BC, there was a demand for formally-trained honey judges, and a one day course was held in 1966 to teach, test, and certify the first group. Additional courses followed in 1975 and the 1980s. Certified honey judges continue to be an important part of exhibitions. Records include course materials, forms, notes, scoring sheets, correspondence, and other documents.
