Grab your bee suit and get ready to meet royalty! In this episode of Bee Love Beekeeping, we sit down with Delanie Craighead, the American Honey Queen, to find out what it’s really like to wear the crown, travel the country, and talk nonstop about honey bees.

Delanie shares how she became Queen, what goes into the competition, and some of the fun adventures that come with representing Beekeeping and Beekeepers across America.

But this isn’t just about crowns and honey jars! We get into the serious side of Beekeeping, from Varroa mites and pesticides to the threat of fake honey—and why honey bees are so important to agriculture.

Delanie brings plenty of enthusiasm (and maybe a little honey-powered energy) to the conversation, showing why educating people about honey bees can be both important AND a whole lot of fun.
