The Bee Supply

Blake Shook, along with his parents, Lyndon and Tammy Shook, founded The Bee Supply in 2016. Blake has been keeping bees since he was a young teen and has grown his commercial beekeeping business to thousands of hives. When his parents had an empty metal building and a few acres to utilize for a small business, Blake approached them about another dream of his - starting a bee supply store to help local beekeepers. And thus, The Bee Supply was born.

Texas Apiary Inspection Service

The Texas Apiary Inspection Service (TAIS) is the sole agency responsible for regulating the apiary industry of Texas. TAIS is a state agency administered under AgriLife Research, a part of the Texas A&M university system. Honey bees are a vital part of the agricultural industry here in Texas and nationwide. Pollination by honey bees provides billions of dollars in added value to crops here in the United States. In order to ensure the health and safety of the industry, TAIS routinely inspects commercial operations for pest and pathogens and permits the movement of hives.
