Hey there completely off the chicken subject . I'm wanting to learn about beekeeping I'm in sumner county tn. I know about the extension office but I think I'd like some one on one help maybe even come to my property and show me where good set up would be. Are there people that Do this?

Contact the Tennessee Bee Keeping Association (TBA) they can help you find your local chapter. You'll need an apiary license from TDA to get started, but you have to give long/lat of the apiary in the license request. Some clubs are better than others and some members, more helpful than others. But yes, folks do that.

I had no idea you needed a license.

Seems counter-intuitive to make it more difficult to keep bees when all you hear is that the bees are on the decline and all life on earth will end...lol.

Anyway...I have 2 roosters I would like to rehome in the Cookeville area. Both are mutts from pure bread parents. The white one is a polish rooster crossed with a white leghorn. He has the double comb and mohawk type crest. The dark one is crossed from a white crested black polish rooster and red polish hen. It's all polish, but from two different variations, very pretty coloring but no idea what future generations would look like.

Send me a PM if you are interested. I will post online later in the week if no action here and they will probably become stew. Thanks.

I am with you on the bee thing. I read that you have to REGISTER them. Not sure you need a license.

I think that it's mostly about getting on an inspection list. They want people to practice sound management to prevent diseases from spreading. It does no good for a struggling species if you get a bunch of amateurs dabbling who then spread pathogens in their ignorance.
