Hey Everyone,
I just realized this site existed a couple days ago and I'm excited to be a part of this community. I finished building my Top bar hive yesterday and now I'm trying to figure out where to buy some local bees.

Welcome Evan
Got my first hive back in March wish I had stated beekeeping sooner. Got my bee and supplys from Triad bee supply in Trinity NC his number is 336 475-5137. Not sure if his bees are local but mind are doing great. Live in Asheboro myself, good luck.

Welcome. I'm west of you in Lincolnton. Beesource is great-read & learn and don't be afraid to ask "stupid" questions. I've heard good comments about WG Bee Farm in Eden, NC. You can google it.
