Busy Arizona Bees and the Desert Honey Boom
The greatest honey crop in Arizona this year may double last year’s output, with much of it shipped to Chicago. Desert cactus and mesquite provide rich nectar, and bees thrive in Salt River valley and from Phoenix to Tempe. Wild bees in caves, rock crevices, and cliffs yield vast hoards, while honey hunting is perilous but rewarding. A ranch near Phoenix tames cave bees yielding 1000 to 2000 pounds annually. The piece blends natural abundance with dangers of wild harvesting.
