Chilton Bee Company
United States
Приєднався 21 лип 2023
My name is Brad Kelley and I am from Verbena, AL. I am Co-Owner of Chilton Bee Company. We manage a few hundred colonies around Central Alabama, primarily in Chilton and Autauga Counties. We have been beekeepers for about 10 years and produce honey, creamed honey, nucs, mated queens, queen cells and retail products such as lip balm, soap, lotion, candles and wax melts. I plan to use this channel to teach other beekeepers the processes that we have learned to use over the years, not only to keep our hives alive but also to produce for us.
