"Beekeeper for a Day" Honey Label Contest Winners
In the late fall of 2006, the National Honey Board launched a contest for kids called “Beekeeper for a Day,” as part of its Hispanic marketing program. The contest asked elementary school children to design and submit a honey label, to emphasize the honey contained as "100% Pure Honey". The top prize was a day with a beekeeper for the child and his or her family, as well as a donation for the winner's school's art department. The winners, as well as a number of honorable mentions, are displayed below. For full Spanish-language coverage, be sure to visit our companion website, http://www.mielpura.org.
