American Honey Queen Program

The American Honey Queen Program supports the promotion and education of our international beekeeping industry. There will be many Honey Queen activities throughout the entire conference including the opportunity to buy Honey Queen Raffle Tickets for a beautiful, handmade quilt (similar to the photo) and opportunities to support the ABF and American Honey Queen Program through the silent auction all week. We would love to see you at one or more of these.

With your support, the American Honey Queen and Princess travel around the United States to promote honey and beekeeping through school presentations, civic and club meetings, agricultural fairs and functions, television and radio interviews, legislative visits and much more, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in industry publicity each year.
