Metal Arch Building in Navasota, Texas
Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., was the proud manufacturer and supplier of this pre-engineered steel building in Navasota, Texas, in January of 1999.
These days, the steel agricultural building sits on the grounds of the headquarters of B Weaver Apiaries, a local beekeeping business specializing in queen bees, package bees, established hives, bee supplies and premium-quality honey. In operation since 1888, the family-owned and -operated beekeeping business carefully selects the queen bees and package bees it offers for sale, resulting in unmatched quality.
In addition to operating a year-round store where customers can purchase equipment and supplies used in beekeeping efforts, B Weaver Apiaries also hosts several educational events throughout the year, including “Field Days” throughout the spring where locals can check out live hiving demonstrations taught by fifth-generation beekeeper, Clint Weaver.
