2025 Ashe Beekeeper of the Year
James Wilkes
At the recent Farm Bureau Ashe Agriculture Celebration in Jefferson, NC - James Wilkes was presented with an award recognizing him as the 2025 Ashe Beekeeper of the Year Award.
James has served faithfully on the leadership of the ACBA for many years, and his willingness to share his knowledge with the club and beekeepers from around the world is an inspiration to all beekeepers and we were honored to recognize him at this event which showcased agriculture leaders in Ashe County, including Christmas Tree growers, cattle farmers and dairy producers.
This was the second year that the group has asked the Ashe Beekeepers to be a part of the crucial agriculture recognition in the county.
