2. Introduction
• Honey Holding of Baytown, Texas, is one of the largest distributors
of industrial honey in the United States. Delivering roughly 22
million pounds of honey annually to bakers and food processors
across America, Honey Holding manages thousands of its own bee
colonies in Texas and Louisiana and also imports honey from
overseas producers.
Honey Holding's US facilities were established in part to reduce the
dependence on foreign sources for honey - a particular problem in
America since the number of domestic beekeepers has steadily
declined for more than half a century - but also to promote job
growth in Texas counties with high unemployment rates. Much of
the job growth in Texas is tied to energy production, but local
officials credit the state's robust economy to the diversity of Texas
industries.

3. Texas Economy
• In September of 2016, leisure and hospitality jobs saw
the largest growth in Texas, which local officials regard
as a sign of a healthy economy, one in which residents
are comfortable spending their money on recreation.
The Texas economy is large enough to surpass most
nations of the world, with fewer than a dozen countries
able to boast greater prosperity than this single state.
According to Forbes, Texas is continuing to enjoy the
second-highest employment and economic growth in
the US over the last five years, with Forbes' top-10 list
of American cities for future job growth including
seven Texan cities.
