My name is Phillip and RTXhoneybees is my hobby beekeeping operation. I became interested in keeping bees about 5 years prior to actually getting bees in July 2020. Since opening that first colony I am hooked. The honey bee is an amazing creature.
I am also an avid woodworker. I build almost all of my equipment - not just to save money but because I find that part of it nearly as rewarding as caring for the bees.
RTX stands for Richland Texas, where the majority of the bees are kept. The Richland bee yard is on a 116 acre farm and the bees have access to 1000s of acres of undeveloped land. The Coppell bee yard is a very small backyard suburban apiary. It serves as my training yard and gives me my "bee fix" on a daily basis.
The goal for the Richland Bee farm is to eventually produce ample amounts of honey and bees for sale. The Richland bees made 500lbs of Spring Honey. A severe summer drought lead to no significant honey being collected in the fall of 2023.
Honey from the Coppell bees is intended for residents of Coppell and surrounding communities. It is small batch honey for those who value both its unique taste and health benefits on a micro-local and environmentally sustainable level. Honey is a known anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory. It is believed that local raw honey may also help with allergies since it may contain small amounts of the pollen causing the allergy.
Whatever the reason you choose to support your local beekeeper please choose to do it. Not only does the honey taste superior to the grocery store honey, you are helping the pollinators in your own community! They, in turn, pollinate the fruits, vegetables and flowers that you enjoy.
