Agricultural Exemption with Honey Bees
If you live in Central Texas and own 5-20 acres you could be eligible for an agricultural exemption.
Placing honey bees on Texas proprieties is the first step to ensure Texans are able to enjoy the beauty of the Texas Hill Country for generations to come.
The removal of native grasses and ground cover by grazing herds can be detrimental to the preservation of top soil in the Texas Hill Country. Sister Creek Hives strives to find the balance between the necessity for grazing herds in Texas agriculture and the protection of native grasses and soil fertility.
For an annual fee Sister Creek Hives will place honey bee colonies on your property, maintain and manage the colonies, assist you in applying for agricultural exemption, and help you save hundreds to thousands of dollars on property taxes every year. We provide the honey bees, all hive equipment, hive management and records for your county appraisal district. We do the work so you don’t have to!
*If you currently hold "Ag Exemption" on your property using livestock, and would prefer an activity with less impact on your land, Sister Creek Hives can help you switch to managed honey bee colonies and keep your current ag exemption.
