How It Works

If you own between 5 and 20 acres of land in Texas, you may be eligible for an AG exemption by keeping Tax Free Bees. Our team will install hives on your property, and handle all maintenance and management of the colonies for a fee.

Please note that each county has its own regulations regarding the minimum number of beehives required on the property, and the number of years of agricultural activity needed to qualify for the exemption.

Beekeeping with Tax Free Bees is the simplest and most cost-effective way to qualify for an AG valuation. Unlike other agricultural activities, beekeeping does not require expensive equipment, livestock trailers, veterinarians, or hay. Plus, you're not tied to the land and can take vacations without worrying about caring for animals.

To qualify for the AG exemption, your property must be suitable for honey bees and beekeeping, and our team must have unrestricted access to the bees. A vehicle should be able to park within 20 yards of the hive location, and Tax Free Bees retains ownership of the bees, equipment, and hive products.
