Kim Kester, Honey Queen

Kim is the American Honey Queen. Kim is part of the education program of the American Beekeeping Federation. Bees are divided into three groups, drones, workers and the queen. The queen can lay 2000 eggs per day. Bees contribute about 19 billion dollars to the ag industry. Apples, cucumbers, cherries and cranberries are a few of the items that need the bee pollination. Because of the bee shortage in some area, truckers move hives around the county to help out. There are three hundred varieties of honey. It can also be used for coughs, cuts and burns. The wax can be used for candles, lip balm, crayons and ski wax. Follow the Bee Queen on Facebook or get more information at www.abfnet.org.
