Nicole Pettibon of McKinney, TX, is our 2009 Texas Honey Queen! Since being crowned at the November TBA Convention, Nicole has submitted her photo, bio and recipes for the new Honey Queen brochure (see pages 8 & 9). As Honey Queen, Nicole has traveled to Tyler, Plano and Granbury, TX, and to Reno, NV. She looks forward to soon attending the Ft.Worth Livestock Show, the San Antonio Livestock Show, the TBA Delegates Meeting, the Houston Livestock Show and the Williamson County Area Beekeepers general meeting.

We want to give her lots of appropriate exposure and experience. Do let me know of any events in your home area which you would like the Texas Honey Queen to attend on behalf of beekeeping.

Thank you for your generous support of the Texas Honey Queen program!

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Shirley Acevedo

Texas Honey Queen Program Chairperson
