Two Hives Honey
Terrah stumbled her way into beekeeping in 2015 when she moved to Austin, Texas from Memphis, Tennessee.
Hailing originally from Rochester, New York, Terrah always had a fascination with insects of all kinds and wanted to give back in being a steward to the earth. Realizing her passion was for the bees, Terrah specifically focuses on a "hives over honey" mentality and strives to maintain strong and healthy colonies putting the bees first, always!
Taking her test in November of 2023, she finally became the 38th master beekeeper recognized through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. Terrah is a full-time beekeeper managing roughly 650 hives around the central Texas area for agriculture exemptions and also provides live bee removals with the possibility of repairs as well as other beekeeping services.
Terrah is the membership director of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers and is also a mentor for the Hives for Hero's Non-Profit Organization for Veterans and First Responders.
Vendor Table: Pat "PJ" Kelly
Visit PJ's FB Marketplace
Master Woodworker, Beekeeper & Bee Remover
Pat "PJ" Kellywill also be at the meeting showcasing his woodenware for sale.
You can also find him on Facebook Marketplace if you can't make the meeting. A number of us here at TVBA use his woodenware for our hives and we can assure you, it is well made and a great deal.
As usual, we will host our Beginning Beekeeping class down the hall from the auditorium before the primary meeting. The subject and speaker vary monthly, and classes may not be held out of season. Visit "Beekeeping Classes" to register.
The primary educational meeting will begin with our usual club updates, community events, and segments such as “Plant of the Month,”and “In the Hive,” then break-time (mingling, chats and snacks) before our speaker presentation.
Be sure to arrive early for Q&A- it's always a great time to ask about your beekeeping concerns and hear about those from others.
Don't forget! Stop by our newly-set-up "Needs & Wants Board" to connect with TVBA fellows who may need or want assistance in the form of materials or knowledge, or to post your own.
One last thing- if you have any hive component, tool or beekeeping gizmo you would like to show and tell us all about, bring it along for our “Bring ‘n Brag” portion of the meeting. We include this segment when folks got gear to show off- it’s fun and it feels good!
TVBA is a 501(c)3 organization and operates because of YOUR donations, membership, and other purchases.
You can renew your membership, register for classes, and purchase SWAG online. Cash only is accepted at the meeting if you would like to purchase TVBA-themed swag such as T-shirts, mugs, coasters etc. and walk away with your own piece of TVBA when you leave.
