January 2009 Honey Queen Report
January 19th, 2009 | 
Author: Hello, Everyone!
I would like to thank you all once again for choosing me to represent you as the 2009 Collin County Honey Queen. I am so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful association, and I am truly looking forward to this coming year!
I hope you all enjoyed the friendly fellowship, delicious food, and lively entertainment that we had at our annual Christmas banquet — I know I did!
My first event as Honey Queen was on December 10, at St. Monica’s School in Dallas, where Rachael Seida (American Honey Queen), and I gave three presentations to a total of 135 very excited first graders and preschoolers. We had a nice time, and it was a privilege to learn from Rachael as I watched and helped her during our presentations. Our contact person at the school had visited the TBA booth at the State Fair and had picked up a Queen brochure.
On December 17, I went with Mrs. Acevedo to North Hills Preparatory School in Irving, where I spoke to eighty first graders. Even without the observation hive (it was, unfortunately, too cold to bring the bees), the children were very eager to listen and learn and ask many excellent questions! The lead teacher at this school also had seen the honey bees at the TBA State Fair booth and contacted Mrs. Acevedo for a bee talk.
I have been busy working with 2009 Collin County Honey Princess, Kaylynn Mansker, and Mrs. Acevedo to design the 2009 Honey Queen/Honey Princess trifold, which will hopefully be ready soon!
I am looking forward to seeing you at the January meeting!
May you all have had a very Merry Christmas!
Queen Allison
