Membership in the Wood County Beekeepers’ Organization is open to everyone who has an interest in honey bees and is not limited to residents of Wood County.
Wood County Beekeepers’ Association is an affiliate member of the Texas Beekeepers Association (TBA). New beekeepers receive their first year membership in TBA free as part of our membership package.
A colony of bees consists of 20,000 to 60,000 honey bees. It has only one queen who is the mother of all of the other bees. Worker honey bees are all female. They generally live for about 6 weeks and do all of the work in the hive. Male bees are called drones and their only responsibility is to mate with a queen.
Directly, honey bees pollinate the flowers of one-third of all fruits and vegetables.
Indirectly, honey bees pollinate 70% of food crops through seed production.
