Sugar Sugar Sugar!!!
The Ashe County Beekeepers and our friends from the surrounding counties needed sugar to help feed our bees that have been devastated by the recent storm. The people have responded! We not only collected hundreds of pounds of sugar locally, today we received a generous gift of 8,000 pounds of sugar from a Beekeeping company located in Manning SC! Kutik's NUCs and Queens graciously delivered a truckload of sugar this morning, and we have lots of sugar to get out to our fellow beekeepers.
You do NOT have to have lost bees to receive this sugar, and you do NOT have to be from Ashe County. We are working hard to assist our beekeeping friends in Wilkes, Watauga, Avery and Alleghany counties as well. If you are a beekeeper or know of one in need, please share this information with them and ask them to contact Todd Swanson with the Ashe County Beekeepers!
Thanks friends for helping keep our honeybees alive this season!
