2020 American Honey Queen Mary Reisinger of Texas has promoted the honey and beekeeping industry this year in many new ways. She will touch on the American Honey Queen Program, how association members can participate in and utilize it, what her year thus has entailed, and the ABF and benefits of membership from the backyard or rooftop beekeeper to the commercial beekeeper. In addition, she will share details on how to effectively reach the public to promote the honey and beekeeping industry through the American Honey Queen Program.
