Gretchen Bee ranch continues
to grow! Look hard and
you might spot our beehives
along the back roads
of Guadalupe, Gonzales,
Medina and Frio Counties
of South Texas. Abundant
rains this year resulted
in a wonderful honey
crop and healthy bees.
Our bees even managed
to make a small amount
of mesquite blossom
honey – the first
|
we’ve had in a couple
of years! We’ve always
thought that honey produced
in South Texas is among
the finest in the world
– and this year the
bees really delivered
the goods.
Our new bee-centered
products this year are
a delightful pecan creamed
honey, a soothing all-natural
lip balm and pure beeswax
tea light candles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And because our mission is to
help restore honeybees to our
environment, we now offer beekeeping
gear to those who want to take
the plunge into beekeeping.
We want to help folks become
successful beekeepers because
we think that’s a terrific and
fun way to keep the honeybees
buzzing in a garden near you. |

One of our experienced beekeepers will introduce you to basic beekeeping components and bee hive anatomy and then get you geared up with your own veil and gloves (provided as part of the tour). Then, it’s time to open a bee hive and get a first hand look at a bee colony.

Pure honey, coarse chopped pecans
from our own trees, cooled and
stirred to spreadable perfection
equals honey addiction. Try

We like to keep things simple
at the Bee Ranch, and that includes
our soothing lip balm. Think
of beeswax, but soft and creamy.
While the ingredients are simple,
the results can be a bit more
complicated – oohing, aahing,
easy smiles. And kissing – a
lot more kissing. (learn

Our Honey Scrub is all natural
and unique, using only honey
crystals as the exfoliant. Honey
is a soothing agent that leaves
skin feeling fresh while the
crystals help gently remove
dead skin. The Vitamin E oil
we add gives skin a golden honey
glow and also helps heal blemishes.

We’ve been asked for beeswax
tea light candles for years,
so we are very pleased to offer
this beautiful set of eight
– hand-poured by us with love.
Each tea light will give you
a bright, clean-burning flame
for about four hours. Beeswax
candles are a delightful way
to warm your home, or the hearts
of others who receive them as
a gift. (learn
