I've always been fascinated with beekeeping.

I'm selling my house and downsizing out into the country and would eventually like a few hives.

They spray weekly within the city limits so I haven't been willing to try a hive in town.

Are there any Beeks with 100 miles or so of Myrtle Beach, SC?

There are a couple of bee clubs just north of you in Columbus & Brunswick counties (NC):

I don't see any SC clubs near you, but you might want to check with your state association:

About 75 miles away from MB - here in Bladen County, NC there are a lot of beeks, some with quite a number of hives. Many service the thousands of acres of blueberries. I spent quite a bit of time in Brunswick county (Oak Island) and often see hives from HiWay 211.
