TEXAS HONEY SHOW: Big State, Big Show

摘要

Texas is the largest state of the "lower 48." Alaska is, of course, the largest of all 50 states. Texas, the Lone Star State, was actually a republic before it became a state in 1845. It is over 700 miles east to west and over 700 north to south. It is big enough to have several distinct climates that provide the plants that the honey bees use.Interstate highway 35, from Laredo in the south, runs north through San Antonio, Austin (the capital), then Dallas, separating the subtropical eastern part from the arid western part. A few mountain ranges are found in the far west. The panhandle is farenough north to have some snow in winter.
