Delanie Craighead, the American Honey Queen from Descanso, is back at the fair! In this informative presentation, Delanie will explore honey as a global commodity — from its ancient history and worldwide production to its economic importance, trade, and role in modern agriculture.
You’ll gain fascinating insights into how honey is produced around the world, the challenges and opportunities facing beekeepers globally, and why San Diego County’s local honey remains so special. Delanie’s passion for apiculture shines through as she connects local beekeeping with the bigger international picture.
Perfect for families, 4H members, gardeners, cooks, and anyone curious about where our food comes from and the story behind one of nature’s sweetest gifts.
