American Beekeeping Federation

DeSales student named American Honey Queen

The American Beekeeping Federation recently announced Lucy Winn as the 2022 American Honey Queen at the American Beekeeping Federation Conference and Tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nev.

Winn is the daughter of Stephen and Lauren Winn, of Carlisle.

Winn is a sophomore at the DeSales University, Center Valley, where she studies business management and marketing. Her family keeps backyard beehives, which sparked her passion for beekeeping. At DeSales, Winn tutors local students in math. In her free time, Winn loves to read, throw pottery, walk her dog and keep bees.

Prior to being selected as the American Honey Queen, Winn served as the 2020 and 2021 Pennsylvania Honey Queen. In this role, she promoted the honey industry in schools, through farmers’ markets, fairs, festivals and media interviews.

Winn will spend the next year promoting the beekeeping industry throughout the United States in a variety of venues, according to a media release.
