comments

Posted: 01.09.2012

 

The Wisconsin Honey Producers Association is proud to announce that Sarah Rushfeldt was selected as the 2012 Wisconsin Honey Queen at their convention. 

Sarah is the 23-year-old daughter of James and Bonnie Rushfeldt of Dresser, Wisconsin. Sarah is currently a junior at Crown College in St. Bonifacious, MN, where she is pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in nursing. A beekeeper since the age of 8, Sarah now manages approximately 100 colonies of bees.
 
Prior to being selected as the Wisconsin Honey Queen, Sarah served as the 2011 Northwestern District Honey Queen. In this role, she promoted the honey industry at local fairs and in schools.
 
Sarah will spend the next year promoting the beekeeping industry in Wisconsin. She is available to speak with civic groups and appear at fairs, festivals, and farmers markets. She will also give presentations in schools about honeybees and the beekeeping industry.

In January 2013, Sarah will represent Wisconsin at the American Honey Queen competition at the American Beekeeping Federation Convention in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
 
 To schedule an appearance with Wisconsin Honey Queen Sarah Rushfeldt, contact Becky Mehringer at 920-220-1026 or wihoneyqueenprogram@gmail.com. All appearances are free of charge.
