Title: Hello from Tennessee
Post by: Beeman 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.

I can't believe that name wasn't taken!

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?

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.

Post by: efmesch on December 14, 2014, 03:52:44 pm: 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?

Post by: Beeman on December 14, 2014, 04:19:42 pm: Thanks efmesch. Elvis was a little west of me in Memphis,TN. But hey, he got around.

Post by: lazy shooter on December 18, 2014, 08:59:44 am: I love Tennessee. The topography is beautiful, and the people are hospitable. Your area has good hunting and TROUT. One of the things Texas is real short on is trout. I love fly fishing. Your relatively mild winters and long growing season without scorching heat should be an ideal location for bees. Good luck and stay in touch!
