Originally Published 2 years ago — by Texas Public Radio
Uvalde, Texas celebrated its annual Honey Fest to honor the local beekeeping industry and promote healing in the community after a school shooting that occurred last year. Beekeepers and festival-goers alike emphasized the strong sense of community and resilience shared by both the bees and the townspeople. The festival featured vendors selling honey made by the area's bees, and beekeepers explained the healing properties of honey for humans. The festival served as a step towards a new normal for the community.
