During our June meeting, we will welcome the American Beekeeping Federation (ABF) 2025 American Honey Queen Cheyenne Bastian-Brown.
As a spokesperson for the ABF, Cheyenne will bring us an informative and interactive presentation. She will share her knowledge in the areas of pollination of our nation’s crops and how dependent we are on the honey bee for agriculture, how honey is a healthy substitute for sugar, and how honey also extends the shelf life of baked products and adds that extra special something, like taste or texture.
Run by the American Beekeeping Federation, the American Honey Queen Program, chooses a Honey Queen and Honey Princess annually to promote honey and beekeeping. These individuals represent the ABF and the industry at various events around the country.

For more than 80 years, the American Beekeeping Federation (ABF) has been working in the interest of all beekeepers, large and small, and those associated with the beekeeping industry to ensure the future of the honey bee. Today, there are many challenges facing the industry that are endangering the very existence of nature’s most valuable insect. From disease to shrinking habitat to detrimental legislation to new science that is modifying nectar sources in ways we have yet to fully understand, beekeepers rely on the ABF for the education they need to succeed in the business of keeping bees in today’s competitive world.
