The Bee Supply was founded in 2016 by Blake, Lyndon and Tammy Shook. The business has three locations, including one in Round Rock that opened in April 2023. City o cials have also been promising a place for the beekeeping community since Round Rock City Council passed the Bee City USA resolution in 2022. Manager Beck Barajas, who joined The Bee Sup- ply in February 2023 before the store’s opening, said it’s important to support bees because they pollinate a majority of the food people eat.
