"Build a Box" Day
The "Build a Box" day was so much more than we could have ever imagined! We had over 50 beekeepers from all over the state of NC and TN come to help assemble over 400 bee hive boxes and nearly 3,000 frames! The assembly line production was in full gear, from the box building, to the frame assembly using multiple air compressors and staple guns, to even the painting of all those boxes! We had it rocking as you can see from the photos!
There are just too many people to thank in this single post - but a big shout out to Rossman Apiaries and Miller Bee Supply for helping with all of the wooden ware. Thanks to Parker-Tie Hardware in West Jefferson for donating all of the wood glue, paint, staples and nails! We even want to thank both Chick-fil-A in Wilkes and Boone for donating lunch and snacks to the group!
We delivered dozens of hives to beekeepers in the area who lost hives during the storm, and we still have several left - if you know someone who lost hives - either in flooding or wind - please reach out to us and we would love to assist you! We love our beekeeping families and we love our honeybees! Thank You!
