Harvesting Bees

Rabbit Zielke
John Seaborn moving thousands of bees through Chattanooga.

Wolf Creek Apiaries supplies mixed-breed small-cell honey bees to farmers and beekeepers across the southeast.  They breed bees that are smaller than the average European honey bee and are designed to resist some of the pests that have been partially responsible for the loss of almost 95% of the honey bee population across the globe.  The Seaborns sell bees that have been harvested from their bee yards.  They employ organic management techniques to avoid using harsh chemicals with their bees. 

Rabbit has been on the air at WUTC since 1993.
