Hello from Tennessee
« on: December 11, 2014, 07:24:25 pm »
Hello everyone,

Just thought I say howdy. I'm in Northern Tennessee. I run 8 frame med hives & nucs. Planning my first TBH this spring. I run SC & natural cell size bees, raise my own queens & have lots of fun doing it.  Looking forward to being part of the gang.

 :welcome:
I can't believe that name wasn't taken!
 :goodone:
Glad you found us Tim. We are a pretty friendly group here, keeping bees and having a bit of fun (often at others expense at times).  ;D
How long have you been keeping bees. Raising queens is not something a nubee tackles right off so I'm guessing you know your way around a bit?

Thanks for the welcome. 

Perry, been keeping bees for 10 years. Started raising queens for 8 years using grafting & the OTS system from Mel Disselkoen. Both work great. I only small scale numbers are needed, OTS is the way to go.

Riverbee, I'm in Portland TN. It's on the TN/Ky line north of Nashville.

Thanks all for the welcome.

Glad to have you here. I've been by Portland many times with a semi load of bees. Stopped at the Franklyn, Ky. truck stop often.

Howdy neighbor, from Arkansas.

I used to live in East Tennessee. Dream of moving back some day.

Welcome to the forum, best place around to hang out.

Hi Beeman, welcome to this forum, its a great place to learn more about beekeeping even if you've done beekeeping for some time. I gained a lot from what I already know.

Greetings to you beeman, on joining the forum.  You've chosen the slack season to start posting----the time of year when a lot of the posts deal with the lighter side of beekeeping.  As winter rolls by and spring starts putting weight on the hives we hope to hear from you often.
I looked up your location on the map--looks like you have a nice spot in which to raise your bees.   Near Nashville ----isn't that Elvis territory?
