However, there may be a beekeeper in your area who has bees to sell. Check with the Clarkesville Beekeeping group - they are a good and active group. There may be another group closer to you - Forsyth County beekeepers are the group that meets in Clarkesville. You might want to find a beekeeper to shadow in your area this year and then start with bees next year. Use this year to get educated.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-21918139468540373092012-04-03T07:19:28.435-04:002012-04-03T07:19:28.435-04:00Now there's a thought - maybe it was the swarm...Now there's a thought - maybe it was the swarm lure! Now they are all in the hive and apparently doing well. I'll check them in about a week and we'll see.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-10071205474809292132012-04-02T14:39:32.734-04:002012-04-02T14:39:32.734-04:00I wonder if a few of the bees are clustered in the...I wonder if a few of the bees are clustered in the swarm trap still because of the lingering scent of the swarm lure? I've heard swarm lure is pretty irresistible stuff (for the bees)?!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612958852770385279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-33985511554986719082012-03-31T13:45:32.856-04:002012-03-31T13:45:32.856-04:00Hi Linda

I'll be ready for it: 30 years ago our main tulip tree flow was reliably around Memorial Day, then moved up to early May, then mid-April. My scale hive has gained 24.5 lbs from Mar. 13 - 30, so this is a bizarre spring.Pennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-2712652153044698272012-03-31T10:49:29.053-04:002012-03-31T10:49:29.053-04:00Linda - I live in Dawsonvile.
