The Minnesota Honey Queen Program
The Minnesota Honey Queen (MHQ) is the chief promoter of honey products and the beekeeping industry in Minnesota. It is a yearlong position, beginning with coronation at the Minnesota Honey Producers Association (MHPA) Winter Meeting and ending with the coronation of a new Queen at the same event one year later. When a young woman enters the MHQ competition, it is an affirmation of her commitment of time and effort to the position of MHQ.
These guidelines are meant to serve as a rule-of-thumb as to what is expected by both the Honey Queen and the Minnesota Honey Queen Program Co-Chairpersons (Kaye Olson & Angie Lundeen). The MHQ program is under the direction of the Minnesota Honey Producers Association. The program is governed by the Minnesota Honey Queen Program Co-Chairpersons.
The MHPA is very proud to congratulate the 2008 MHPA Queen for winning her title in Minnesota and going on to Nationals competing with girls from around the United States. Ali was crowned the 2009 American Honey Princess. Ali will continue to help in her home state as her agenda permits. She will be appearing at the MHPA Annual Conference in St. Cloud and the Minnesota State Fair.
