Looking forward to the thread
In our neck of the woods, like Rob said, the hives are all over the woods in open spaces. No one bothers them.

BTW, The Tupelo Honey Festival is coming up soon in Wewahitchka, FL.- May 6, 2015 9am to 4pm ET. We go and load up on honey for the year, but when I run out, I have a connection for all the Tupelo I want. We don't use sugar in our house much at all, everything is sweetened with honey. We eat the Tupelo though, it's too expensive to use in everything.
