From my sister the beekeeper. The nickname for Paluxy and the name of my blog, mostly about the area, is Pulltight. Smiled to see the name of the honey. Her bees dine on the flowers of the Paluxy River valley. In my mind, these flowers providing nectar to her bees are flower descendants of flowers growing here over 100,000,000 years ago. Those flowers of so many years ago were fertilized by the droppings of dinosaurs who used to roam this same valley.
If you are a paleontologist or just like dinosaurs, you can see the traces from the Paluxy valley in a few places. The New York Musem of Natural History
https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/dinosaurs-among-us has an exhibit of dino tracks from the Paluxy River. The Fort Worth Museum of Science History has a skeleton of Paluxysaurus jonsei, the Texas state dinosaur who was found within the range of Sharon's bees https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/texas/state-dinosaur-fossil/paluxysaurus-jonesi. Or probably best of all you could visit Dinosaur Valley State Park, a national natural landmark. There are over 90 dinosaur tracks exposed in the river bed.https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/dinosaur-valley
Any can enjoy learning about seeing the remains of the dinosaurs. But to enjoy the honey from where they roamed, you need to know my sister.
