Troy,
check out eshpa.org and look for the "NY Clubs Link" and then when the map comes up click on Clinton Co and the Champlain Valley Beekeepers Association should pop up. They meet near Plattsburgh pretty regularly. It would be nice if you came to Canton,NY the last Wednesday of each month, but CVBA's meetings may be closer to you.
The number of beekeepers w/in the Blue Line is not that large, but Lori at Nori's Whole Foods, Sareanac Lake has a husband who keeps or kept some bees. And another guy in Saranac Lake has bees on his porch roof. So there are some.
I hope that helps. Come on over to St. Lawrence Co some time. Would be nice to see you.
