Maine Gardening

Bee Keeping

20 years ago

Hi all,

Anyone aware of of Bee keeping in Maine, or discounted equipment to get started on a very small scale. Such as 1 backyard hive, (to aid my garden) I'm aware of the various catalogs out there, but was wondering if there are any local suppliers of both materials and information. I live near Dexter Maine in Central Maine. Many thanks, -Mark

Try the web site below. They might be able to get you pointed in the right direction. For used equipment of any kind, it's hard to beat Uncle Henry's! Also, you might check with your county extension agent---they are usually a pretty good source of agricultural information.
