Bees and Beekeeping Homepage


Central Texas is widely known for its spectacular wildflowers. Anyone who's looked closely at very many flowers has had the unexpected pleasure of finding a bee tumbling about in the center. Honey bees pollinate many flowering plants, and provide us with honey, nature's own sweetener. In celebration of this helpful insect, we present these pages where you can explore the world of bees and beekeeping.
