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!
