From the Honey Queen

摘要

Where has the year gone? It seems like just a few months ago we were enjoying the sunny, warm weather of Galveston. The past several months have been filled with nonstop travel and promotions, taking me from coast to coast. My first promotion in the middle of the hot August summer was in Kentucky for the Kentucky State Fair. From August 18-24, I worked with members of the Kentucky State Beekeepers Association in their booth handing out samples of the different types of honey from Kentucky, explainingto people the many uses of honey, and speaking to the many students that stopped by about honey bees and pollination. I had three radio interviews at the Kentucky State Fair, reaching over 1,260,000 people, valued at approximately $1,040. During my interviews, I spoke about honey bee pollination, specifically the crops pollinated by honey bees in Kentucky, and the uses of honey, like an antibacterial for minor cuts, scraps and burns. Thank you to the Kentucky State Beekeepers Association and Phil Craft for inviting me to promote at the fair.
