About Us

Our story began in 2015 in a small suburb of Spring, Texas. We lived in a new subdivision and because of the clearing, there were no pollinators for my garden. We tried in vain to attract some wild honeybees. So, we decided to start keeping our own bees. I was terrified of bees at first but came to love them. We learned everything that could to make our bees happy and healthy. I joined the Montgomery County Beekeepers in Conroe. I learned so much and became a mentor. Eventually, I rose to become the president of that organization. In 2019, I took the exam for the Texas A&M Texas Master Beekeeper Program. Later that year, I joined the Board of Directors for the Texas Honey Bee Education Association. The organization is dedicated to teaching the public about beekeeping. They also help fund educational projects in Texas and research of the fascinating honeybee.

In 2021, we moved to Palestine, Texas and we love it here. Since then, I have built up my colonies and carried them through two very difficult years. This year we have been blessed with a mild spring and plenty of rain. After some careful thought, we decided to start our very own beekeeping school. We are excited to announce several specialty classes also.
