Honey Queen

I am Selena Rampolla, the 2023 American Honey Queen. I am from Florida, and I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my bachelor's degree in Psychology from University of South Florida. I enjoy learning about the world and spend my spare time studying topics that fascinate me. I like to travel, SCUBA dive, play 8-ball pool, deep-sea fish, and do nature photography.

As the American Honey Queen, I am a spokesperson for the American Beekeeping Federation, the national organization for beekeepers. I travel across the United States promoting beekeeping, educating the public, and representing the over 200,000 beekeepers in the United States. I am working very hard this year to promote honey, and we would love to be able to come talk at your school or other special events! I'd love to answer any questions you have about honeybees or beekeeping. Simply submit your question under the Questions tab of the blog or email me at buzzingacrossamerica@gmail.com.
