From a beekeepers point of view, central Texas is ideal for raising high-quality honey. The diversity of flowers, habitats, and microclimates is greater than most other areas in the US, and mild winters ensure good honey flow throughout the year. On this page you will find photos of plants producing pollens which are typically found in our honey. The plants shown are by no means a complete list of all the plants that find their way into our honey. If you would like to share some photos of your own, just send them to us at info@roundrockhoney.com.
