Designating Combes as the official Bee Capital of Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035.
HCR 111 designates the town of Combes, Texas, as the official "Bee Capital of Texas" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. This symbolic resolution recognizes Combes' historical and current role in beekeeping, including its agricultural roots, honey production, and community efforts to support pollinator conservation. The designation applies only to Combes and has no legal or financial obligations beyond the recognition specified in the resolution. It follows Texas Government Code Section 391.003(e), which allows such designations to remain effective for 10 years after legislative approval.
