Honey Queen

I am Cheyenne Bastian-Brown, the 2025 American Honey Queen. I am from Pennsylvania, and I am a fourth-year student at Pennsylvania State University majoring in Agricultural and Extension Education. In school, I am an active member of the Beta Sisterhood, Alpha Tau Alpha, National Society of Leadership and Success, PSU FFA Alumni and Supporters, Dairy Science Club, and Ducks Unlimited. I have served in multiple leadership roles. In my spare time, I enjoy blogging about agriculture, listening to music, and scrapbooking.

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 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.
