Beekeeper of the Month

Dana Harper Kincaid

When Dana was little a neighbor had bees and he bought her a little bee suit so she could help attend to his bees. About 3 years ago she decided to get herself some hives. She looked in the paper and found out about the Mecklenburg Beekeepers and joined and attended the Bee School. She recently moved and set up a new bee yard at her new location. She lost a couple hives over the winter but has more on order and has all Russian Bees. She will be up to 5 hives come honey flow.
