Purpose of the American Honey Queen Program

The American Honey Queen Program provides the entire beekeeping industry with a salesperson and a public representative. The purpose of the Honey Queen/Princess is to increase the consumption of honey as well as educate the public about the beekeeping industry nationwide. They travel throughout the United States during the year of their reign.

The beekeeping industry touches the lives of every individual in our country. The public finds this industry interesting and unique. Promotions can range from school visits, fairs, civic organization speakers, to prime media such as radio, television, and newspapers.

The Queen and Princess educate the public with facts on the beekeeping and honey industry concerning pollination of our nation’s crops and how dependent we are on the honey bee for agriculture; how honey is a healthy substitute for sugar; honey also extends the shelf life of baked products and adds that extra special something, maybe taste or texture to other products. The ladies do cooking demonstrations using honey in their recipes which you will find in the brochures they hand out at promotions.

The Honey Queen and Princess also speak at seniors groups, stores, conventions for homemakers, FHA, FFA, etc. and the list goes on. They have also been known to help in beekeeping demonstrations at fairs by wearing bee beards and with the processing of honey from comb to bottle.
