Swarm at the Fat Bee Mans house!



  Don wanted me to e-mail this video to him for his website. It was too large to send I posted it here. Here it is Don, hopefully you can copy it from this site.

  We had some extra time one day while at the Fat Bee Mans home in Lula GA. As we walked the property and counted his 320 bee hives, we noticed a swarm landing right beside us! We eventually hived it for him...321 honey bee hives now.

Road Trip!


  We had a successful  trip to GA last weekend to visit the Fat Bee Man and pay for more packaged bees! We got stuck in the snow in NC on the way back but ended up staying at the nicest hotel in Murphy and having a wonderful dinner too. So it was a surprise treat for us.

  Now we really can't wait to go back down and pickup all those bees for us as well as all the folks who has purchased them here in TN.

  To prepare, we are working with the family on the land this weekend, cutting down a couple of really big dead walnut trees to use for making more hive stands. Our scheduled move for the bees is March 10th!

City Bees

 







   I saw this on "The Vanishing of The Bees" Facebook page It reminds me of our bees in the city of Knoxville!  I can't wait till they are all out at Narrow Ridge so they can take off their gas masks and breathe the fresh air.
