Visit Sugar Land SweetNes Honey

The Sugar Land Regional Airport (KSGR) is dedicated to sustainability by connecting with the Fort Bend Beekeepers Association, with ideas to utilize the unused land and a place to relocate bees away from the control towers and aircrafts. That’s where the partnership between Sugar Land Regional Airport (KSRG) and SweetNes Honey and Apiaries Beetique blossomed into something SWEET!

The Story of SweetNes Honey

SweetNes Honey Apiaries & Beetique is a family-owned and operated Texas Honey Bee Farm and Bee Rescue Company. We take pride in providing you with local honey straight from our beehives, along with other bee-made products. Our passion for honeybees goes much further than harvesting honey. We strive to save the bees to ensure that they can continue to thrive.
