Call or email the contact from a club near you. There are lots of them here in TN. We just started this spring and have two healthy hives. How bees live and work is amazing. Become a newbee! (Sorry)

Oh, how wise of you to aim for one thing a week.. I’ve set myself the target of trying a new thing a day and I’m starting to struggle now, after almost a month.
Love your list – I hope it’s ok if I use it as inspiration. Now, where do I get a boomerang from?
