I guarantee no beekeepers were asked for input on this bill.

I posted the Texas Beekeeper's Association's announcement of this bill on my facebook page and immediately got negative comments.  I didn't realize it was so controversial.

Thanks for posting this link.  I need to spend some time educating myself.

Read the article.  It's not that it's a terrible bill, they just didn't think through things properly...

Once you form an opinion either way, you can contact the bill’s sponsor, Tracey King.
Information on how to do that is located at
