Honey Princess

My name is Allison Hager, and I am the 2023 American Honey Princess. I am from Iowa, and I am a senior at Iowa State University studying Business Management, minoring in Entrepreneurship. I have an A.A.S. degree in Agriculture Business from Kirkwood Community College. In my free time, I enjoy crafting, scrapbooking, photography, spending time with my pets and beekeeping.


As the American Honey Princess, I travel across the country to teach students, 4-H groups, and fair-goers about the importance of honeybees and pollination in our everyday lives. I also attend many different events such as fairs, festivals, and farmers markets and have interviews with tv, radio, and newspapers. To find out if the American Honey Queen or Princess can visit your school or community, please visit the American Beekeeping Federation website. You can ask me a question on the Questions tab of the blog or email me at buzzingacrossamerica@gmail.com.
