In an auction to benefit the Honey Queen
program, more than 20 items of apiary interest
were auctioned off by Merle Fisher of Gran
ville, Mifflin County. Aprons, honey pots,
beeswax candle centerpieces, and eight bears
filled with raspberry flavored honey were
some of the items brought up for bid. Pro
ceeds from the auction will help send 1994
Honey Queen Melissa Swartz to the national
Honey Queen contest in January.
The Beekeepers Association is the sole sup
porter of the queen and princess program. In
1950, the Association obtained permission to
promote their honey products at the Farm
Show in Harrisburg. TTiey began the Honey
Queen and Princess program two years later.
Earlier in the day, PSBA president Sandy
