29 October 2019 News
America’s Honey Queen Hannah Sjostrom is visiting schools in the area this week teaching them about the benefits of honey and beekeeping. It is being done in conjunction with the Wisconsin Honey Producers Association Convention in Fond du Lac this weekend. She says they are encouraging more people to be beekeepers and do small things to improve the bee population. “And so nationwide we have lost about 40 percent of our honey bee population this last year according to the University of Maryland. And so if anyone out there would love to help our honey bees and the population and easy thing you can do is just leave the Dandelions in your yard in the spring of the year.” While she is in the state Hannah will be visiting schools in Fond du Lac, North Fond du Lac, Eden, Waupun, Fox Lake, Ripon, Campbellsport, and Brandon. Hannah is a sophomore at the UW-Eau Claire where she is studying to become a nurse.
