ERIE, CO — The National Honey Board officially opened submissions for its annual Queen’s Choice Awards.

Each year, the Queen’s Choice Awards highlight standout new food and beverage products that not only showcase honey’s versatility but also its flavor and functionality across categories. The program honors brands that are pushing boundaries in formulation, taste and product development while using honey as a key ingredient.

Each entry will be evaluated on its taste, packaging, product positioning and its use of honey. To qualify, the products must have been introduced to the market between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, and be commercially available in the US.

Winning products will receive an official award recognizing the achievements of the company’s R&D team, promotion on the National Honey Board’s channels, and features in food and beverage media.
