I am Jennifer Hinkel, the 2021 American Honey Queen. I am from Wisconsin, and I am a 2019 graduate of the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, where I earned my bachelor's degree in marketing with a certificate in entrepreneurship. I currently work for the Wisconsin State Fair as the Agriculture Education and Communication Coordinator as well as on my family's pumpkin and Christmas tree farm. I enjoy showing and training horses, cooking and baking with honey, photography, woodworking, and volunteering with 4-H in my spare time.
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. The American Honey Princess, Virginia, and I are 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.

If bees didn't have a queen how do you think it would be in the hive and do yu think there would still be a lot of honey even without one??????
ReplyDeleteWithout a queen, there would be confusion in the hive. The worker bees would try to create a new queen since the queen has an important role of laying eggs. When a hive does not have a queen, the worker bees will gather less nectar to be made into honey.
