Beekeeping, Another Las Cruces Economic Factor?

We knew Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico led the way for chile production.  We also knew about all the pecans raised in the Mesilla Valley.  . . and the onions, alfalfa and produce  grown in the area’s  fertile soil.  We even knew there were some wineries in the area.  What we didn’t know was Southern New Mexico is home to the two largest beekeeping operations in the state!

Bees?  Now we know bees are essential in the pollination process, but did you know that Mesilla Valley bees are shipped to other areas of the country?  The weather, location, and accessibility make Las Cruces a good place for beekeepers to raise their bees which they can rent to farmers around the country, especially California where they pollinate much of the produce we all eat.  Adding  to their productivity in pollination is their valuable by-product—HONEY!  No wonder beekeeping in the Mesilla Valley is a sweet deal!  

This is just one more example of the diversity that exists in southern New Mexico.  Read the article on bees in the Las Cruces Sun News here.  http://www.lcsun-news.com/ci_15473372?IADID=Search-www.lcsun-news.com-www.lcsun-news.com

Las Cruces Main Street Project to go forward

Las Cruces, like many small American towns has been fighting to recreate a true downtown destination.  Many communities across the country are working hard to bring people and businesses back to the downtown areas that were once the heart and soul of the community.  Las Cruces just took the next step in bringing the public back by approving $3,649,051.89 project to once again open main street to traffic.  Main Street had been closed to create a pedestrian mall in the late 1960’s.  People of Las Cruces hope by bringing traffic back through Main Street that businesses and people will once again flock to Las Cruces’ downtown like they once did before.

Lance Armstrong Riding in the Tour of the Gila

One of the greatest things about living in Las Cruces is the great mountains New Mexico features so near by.  The trip to Ruidoso or Cloudcroft allows Las Cruces residents to get away to trees and cool weather.  Las Cruces is also a quick trip to Silvercity and the Gila Wilderness.  Lance Armstrong is finding out first hand about the area as he competes in the "Tour of the Gila".  The 7 consecutive Tour de France winner has competed in this race before so he knows about the high elevation and difficult course.  What a great oppurtunity for Southern New Mexico to host one of Americas most dominate athletes.
