American Honey Queen Program
The American Honey Queen Program has been advocating for beekeepers and United States honey consumption for more than 60 years. This program annually selects two national spokespeople, who share how the beekeeping industry connects with the lives of every person in the United States. Our goal is to share these connections and why our industry is interesting and unique. We visit schools, fairs and civic organizations, and speak with the media through radio, television and newspaper interviews, all with the goal of advocating for the amazing honey bee and striving to teach consumers about the beauty, versatility, and amazing properties of United States honey.
