HAWKINS, Texas (KLTV) - What started as the simple extraction of bees from an East Texas property years ago has turned into a prosperous business for one school district, and a lesson in success for its students.
Kids at Hawkins ISD are getting a firsthand look at how to achieve success through their ag and FFA program, mainly through the 4-G Honey business that they run.
Newly published research from a University of New Mexico alumnus predicts climate change will reshape bee communities in the Southwest.
For good or bad, the extreme weather in Texas, exacerbated by climate change, can influence a bee's ability to pollinate and produce honey, both key to maintaining ecosystems — and an unusually wet January could be a prelude to a flowery spring.
Bee farming, which is entirely reliant upon access to water and plants for pollination, has experienced one hardship after another so far this year.
