Today my wife, grandson and I took a trip to Brushy Mountain Bee Farm I had a few thing I need to pick up so I could work my bees tomorrow. It was really a great trip and the people that run the place were really friendly. I felt like a kid in a candy store and Lord help me I had a credit card too. Oh I could have got in a lot of trouble but I reined myself in and just got what I needed, but I will go back when I have cash. They even have a bargain barn they say the stuff isn't good enough to send in an order so they sell it at a discount but to tell you the truth I couldn't find much wrong with it . Anyway it was a really great experience and I can't wait to go back.
The only bad part of the trip was the last 6 miles or so up the mountain, where I know the engineers building the road said follow that snake boys.

I also bought a 24g bottle of fumigilan-B complete with mixing instruction
Now if it ain't so windy tomorrow I will have a busy fun day putting all of the new items on my hives
I would love to live near a beesupplier it seems none are in Louisiana. Looks like you had a good time
Lucky man
Thanks for sharing about your trip, esp the Pictures. I hope to go there with a BIG list of beeginners stuff in the next month or so... when I get ready to check out I bet everyone will look at my stack and say :shock:
If you don't mind, I have a question about your purchases. In your last picture I see the Bottom Board (squared off for counting Mites) and I assume the Screens go on top of those..?? But what are the plastic Trays used for?
Thanks
The plastic pieces are top feeders I thought I would give them a try
You must have beaten me there! I was there from 1:30-2:00pm and was the only customer there for that period of time. I had a good conversation with Laurie.
sorry I missed you Nate I will have to plan it a little better next time so we can meet up.
you guys need to go there on bee pick up day...the place is packed with people. and packages of bees.
It looks like a cozy fun place in very beautiful surroundings. Like the photos very much.
I love going to Brushy Mountain Bee Farm, it is such a treat! I've taken my boys there on bee day and watched the demonstration, gotten their bee suits and a few little things. I've never heard of the Bargain Barn, so next time, I'm there!
