The Central Texas Bee Rescue was at the Wheatsville Co-op on
Sunday, June 19. I sampled the wild honey and the raw honey and chose the
latter.
Wild honey comes from feral bees. When the bees are in
danger from construction or are a bother to homeowners, the Central Texas Bee
Rescue relocates them. In their new home, the bees continue to do their work,
making raw honey. While wild honey
has a lot to commend it, I found the raw honey to be full of overtones. We were
almost out; so, I bought a jar.
“Since 2012, we have provided beekeeping courses to children ranging in
age from elementary school to high school. Currently, we have hives at Lanier
High School, Austin Achieve Public School, and the Austin Montessori School.” -- http://honeybeekind.com/our-work/
“In the state of Texas, if a homeowner possesses 5 acres or more of
property, with at least 6 beehives on the property, the resident can become
eligible to have up to 20 acres tax exempt. This exemption can save thousands
of dollars per year.” -- http://honeybeekind.com/honey-co-op/
