Thru the years we have had several, but right now I can't think of any. Call the Rolling Prairie Extension Office in Howard and I am sure Richard or Lori could tell you of any. Their number is 374-2174. This year our garden was Bee-less and you sure could tell the difference. Good luck, Barbara

Tim Tucker at Niotaze is a bee keeper and often attends fairs and celebrations in Elk County. I saw him recently at the Elk Falls festival.

His phone number: 620 879-2926.

The name of his company is TuckerBees.

We've started eating more honey (and less table sugar) these days, so we'd also be interested in purchasing locally-produced honey. Be sure to post any info you might find out. Thanks!

I know that TuckerBee honey is available in Sedan and Caney supermarkets ... not sure about Independence or Howard.

Jo,

There is, in my opinion, nothing "little" about us folks here in Elk County and Southeast Kansas. Life is big and grand.

Jo, there are no" little folks" in Elk county, just "few folks." There are so few of you , it makes each of you more valuable.

Sorry.... this has nothing to do with finding a beekeeper in Elk Co. When I hear someone talking about beekeepers I always think of this John Cleese video.... warped sense of humor I guess.

Thanks.
Heres what i am doing. I am building up new hives, and HOPEFULLY i will achieve this goal quickly this spring through fall. Then next year, i hope to expand them quickly.

I want to be able to offer local honey, as well as things like candles and such from the wax i produce, and when i get more hives i'll also provide pollination services to those who have things like alfalfa fields or produce that needs pollination. :)

One more question. Does anyone have any fallen buildings or outbuildings that i could salvage materials off of to build my hives? :)
