I've got a Honey Tree!
I have a Honey Tree. Son brought in a New Bull to the Ranch last night and after he unloaded it, he was going to check to be sure the gate was fastened that butted up against a big Oak Tree. He said the Bull won't bother that gate because theres honey running out and Bees everywhere. This Morning, I had a better look, and sure enough, about 9' up on the tree there is a hole where honey is running out all the way to the ground. I'm going to the Hardware Store and get a spigot and put it in and caulk around it, and when I want some honey, just go out and turn it on. ):

Haven't tapped it yet. Sure losing a lot of honey. The bees are carrying it in, and its running back out.

I'm with you Tony! I'm a chicken when it comes to bees. (Besides my sister sends me their home-grown honey a couple of times a year)

I don't know if this is true or not, but I have been told that if you take 1 tbs of honey that is made in your area, that it will help with your allergies.
