Your 2027 Iowa Honey Queen
Hallie Meyers
Hallie Meyers is a senior at Upper Iowa University studying Educational Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood and a minor in Human Services. Before transferring to Upper Iowa University, she spent two years at DMACC, where she earned her AAS in Early Childhood Education. Growing up on a specialty-crop farm in central Iowa, Hallie learned hard work and persistence. She never gives up easily. Some of her favorite things to do are travel, read books, and enjoy the outdoors.
Hallie started beekeeping in 2020 after she received the IHPA youth scholarship. What a crazy year. She went from two hives to four hives due to two swarms because her hives were so big. In her first year, she extracted about 250 pounds of honey. Having always had a passion for bees, she loves what they contribute to the environment and how they enhance the production of crops on her parents' farm. Any time she gets the chance to talk about bees, she does. She hopes to ignite a passion for bees in the next generation.
To book a visit from our Iowa Honey Queen, please make arrangements with our queen chair, Connie Bronnenberg, by emailing her at honeyspringvalleyhoneyfarms@gmail.com

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO OTHERS FOR YOUR LOVE OF HONEY BEES AND THE IHPA
​
You can order one decal for $10 or two for $15 (make check to IHPA). You probably will want two since you will have two License Plates. You don’t have to have a decal on both. Or you could choose a different non-profit organization’s decal and place on the other plate, as well. Or, in the future you want a different type of decal you can easily change it or update your current decal.
You can see the Decal below and on the DOT’s website which is; https://iowadot.gov/mvd/vehicleregistration/vehicleregistration/Decals
​
This decal is made to the same specifications that the month decal is made. So, it should last a few years. Now, for those of you that do not want to buy the Decal License Plate ($5.00 in addition to your registration fee plus $5.00 renewal fee at the County’s Treasurers Office) but still want a COOL DECAL you can use them like any decal – in your vehicle’s window, bumper or even on your refrigerator.
The purpose of this decal is raise awareness of Honey Bees and IHPA in Iowa. Yes, we will raise some dollars too. All funds raised will go to support Iowa State Fair Booth renovations.
Thanks for your support of this fun way of showing off our love of honey bees and of IHPA.
