May Day! Flood destroys apiary.

Posted on May 3, 2010 by

On May 1, Jackson TN experienced almost 15″ of rain and extensive flooding. The Forked Deer river flooded and backed up the surrounding creeks, including Harris Creek, which flows near our property. Harris Creek diverted across our land, and washed our bee hives away. A total loss.

    From one beekeeper to another, I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. Saw it on Twitter, sending you love.
