Hey there, bee friends! Spring’s officially buzzing here at Land of Bees & Honey, and I couldn’t wait to share the excitement. Today, I suited up and checked on our hives out here in Leonard, Texas—our bees are waking up, hauling pollen, and gearing up for their big summer harvest. It’s my first year as a beekeeper, and seeing those little workers thriving on our wildflower-packed land at is pure magic.
To celebrate, we dropped our first TikTok video today—set to “Honey Bee” by Chris Doman, no less! It’s a quick peek at our hives, with bees buzzing on frames and soaking up the beautiful Texas sun. Check it out below and let me know what you think!

Here’s the sweet news: we’re adding raw, unfiltered Texas honey to our website! Sourced from local beekeepers, this golden goodness is packed with antioxidants, a natural energy boost, and that classic soothing touch—perfect on toast or straight from the spoon. And because I couldn’t resist, we’re also rolling out honey-flavored beeswax lip balm—smooth, moisturizing, and made with organic beeswax, cocoa butter, and aloe vera. No greasy nonsense, just pure hive love for your lips.
Both are up on our shop page—$12 for a 12 oz jar of honey, $5 for a lip balm tube. Pre-orders ship April 1, so stock up on these Texas treasures before our own bees take the stage this summer. Every jar and tube helps us grow—those profits are headed straight back into more hives and gear for our small, family-owned operation.
Hop over to landofbeesandhoney.store to snag yours, and follow us on TikTok (@LandOfBeesAndHoney once I can ditch this generic @custojibtik handle!) for more bee adventures.
We’re just getting started, and I’m thrilled you’re along for the ride. What’s your favorite way to enjoy honey? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear!
