Austin Supper Club at Lockhart Honey Company with Owner Kenny Mays!

February 26, 2026·50 min·4 clips

Kenny Mays describes a woman who traveled from out of state to buy 200 live bees for self-administered Lyme disease treatment by microdosing bee stings two to three times daily.

Austin Supper Club lands in Lockhart. Trey Elling sets up a Thursday hangout with co-host Brian Stubbs, then turns things over to Kenny Mays of Lockhart Honey Company. The tone stays easy. Kenny sounds like someone who has spent plenty of time in hives and plenty of time answering practical questions from beekeepers who are still figuring things out. Splitting hives becomes the main thread. He says people often come looking for guidance after a year or two, once they feel more comfortable opening their hives and working their bees. Then the opinions start flying. Kenny jokes that beekeeping arguments can be worse than politics, because everyone thinks their method is the right one. Instead of acting like there is one perfect answer, he frames Lockhart Honey Company around showing people what they actually do. The shop has shelves, but it also has classes, questions, and a way for newer and experienced beekeepers to compare practices without falling for every gimmick. The product talk has a backbone. Kenny does not want to be the cheap tool option, and he is clear that they should only sell equipment they use and believe in. Trey responds to the practical value. The segment keeps the Austin Supper Club rhythm, with the interview moving into website plugs, the Lockhart shop, sponsor mentions, and another break. Trey keeps Kenny at the center, while Brian helps set the Austin Supper Club feel. They close by pointing listeners back to LockhartHoneyCompany.com for the beekeeping questions raised in the conversation. The compliment lands warmly. Trey calls Kenny a nerd for the subject in a good way, which fits the whole episode. The ending does not feel polished within an inch of its life. It wraps like a friendly visit: local business, a specialized craft, some banter, and a host who seems glad he made the trip.
