Beekeeping In Cumberland County

ULLI is happy to announce its next offering.

BEEKEEPING IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY

ULLI is pleased to present Jeff Dayton, leading a program on beekeeping in Cumberland County. Jeff was born and raised in Cumberland County.  He had his first  experience with bees with his father in the 60s and 70s, was harvesting honey from bee trees, colonies of bees occurring naturally in the woods. At that time the wild colonies were abundant, and no one was concerned about the possibility of destroying a colony.

  For the last 25 years Jeff has been a beekeeper, setting up and maintaining hives throughout the county, and harvesting the honey.  At this time he is caring for 65 to 70 hives, as well as selling bees and processing honey.  Three of his hives have been set up on Ruth Peeple’s property, adjacent to Uplands. Jeff is a member of and presenter for both the Cumberland County Bee Keepers Association and the Tennessee Bee Keepers Association.
