Success StoryBeekeepers Club



Beekeepers Club

Author: Michelle Brock

Planning Unit: Leslie County CES

Major Program: Beekeeping

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Bell County Extension office was without an Agriculture agent for a while and the existing bee club floundered and fell apart. When a new ag agent was hired she was contacted within days by community members in regards to starting the bee club again.

Plans were made and the Wilderness Road Beekeepers Club had their first meeting. The attendees consisted of participants from Bell and surrounding counties and residents of Tennessee. Experience levels ranged from people with no bee hives and no experience (25% of those in attendance) to 75% of people with dozens of hives and decades of experience.

Participants engaged in conversation among themselves, exchanged ideas, successes and failures in beekeeping.100% of the people interested in keeping bees felt more informed. Our NEP assistant also prepared a recipe and folks got to sample a healthy salad which used fresh local honey in the recipe.
