A lot of us would probably call the mosquito the state insect, but it’s actually the honey bee.
“This all started out as a fourth project of mine when I was in fifth grade,” said Billy Hummer.
That was 30 years ago. Now Billy Hummer and his bees produce 50 thousand pounds of honey a year.
“Each box we would figure is about 3.5 gallons, and a gallon is twelve pounds, so we’re looking at about 40 pounds of honey,” Hummer said.
