My name is Nick and a buddy of mine has recently gotten into bees. Just last year in fact. I thought it would be a good idea too so I'm starting this year as well. I've got a swarm in a hive as we speak and I'm picking it up on Monday. I'm really excited and hope to pull a lot of info from this site. If there's anyone else around Haywood Co. I'd like to meet up.
Thanks Steve. I know Asheville has quite a few folks that are into it. My friend lives about 30 minutes from me. I'm hoping there are others closer to me so I can go and check out their bees and maybe learn a thing or two.
There was a breeder that lived up on cold mtn but he moved over the hill to TN last year. I'm sure he still has roots there but I don't know if he has kept any bees in the area?
Haven't heard from him in a while now, so I don't know what he's up to these days or where he's at.
Seems like I recall someone else joining the board recently that was out around Waynesville or Clyde? Maybe they will pipe up here soon and yaw can hook up.
Welcome Nick! I am a Methodist Minister and I go up to Lake Junaluska near Waynesville every year for some R&R. It is a beautiful area and if I were to retire anywhere other than here...that area where you live would be my choice. It looks to be excellent bee country...and I want to wish you the very best. I have been addicted to beekeeping for some time now, and wish the same for you.
God bless and welcome!
