Join us during our first Talking Bees Roadshow, heading to greater Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio area public libraries, events, clubs and festivals. Certified Master Beekeeper, Konrad Bouffard of Round Rock Honey will teach the sessions and there will be door prizes and fun giveaways!
You will:
Identify pollens and nectars in honey by taste;
Learn how bees make honey; and
Discover meaningful ways to save the bee.
“H-E-B is proud to partner with the Healthy Hive Foundation to bring family-friendly, free educational events to our local communities which provide our customers opportunities to learn about bees and the important role they play in our environment.”

“The ability of honeybees to sting–their natural defense mechanism–causes many to react to them with fear. Fear, combined with pesticide use, shifts in weather patterns and an increasing lack of diverse flora on which bees can feed has caused environmental degradation that is harmful to bees. Honeybees are a critical source of renewal for ecosystems all over the planet, and they need not be feared.”
