The Wisconsin Honey Producers Association is proud to announce that Shannon Lamb of Dane, Wisconsin was selected as the 2022 Wisconsin Honey Queen.

On November 6, 2021 Doug Hauke was honored as WHPA’s 2021 Beekeeper of the Year at the annual Fall Convention in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. As a boy, Doug wanted nothing to do with the bees on his father's dairy farm. He headed to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study bacteriology and virology.  While there, he worked several seasons at the University’s bee lab. The bee research experience changed his thinking.  It convinced him he was destined to raise bees back home and by 1980 he owned the family business.
