Hi Jason...welcome!

I just returned from a trip to Iowa (does Primghar ring a bell?) and noticed a real lack of beeks there, especially with all the soy beans in production! I went to the Prairie heritage center and saw wonderful fields of "tall grass prairie" just full of flowers and wondered why no bees. The center said they would be willing to allow a beek to place hives there....might be a good out-yard if you're close.

Peace be yours,
Scott

Welcome Jason. In a previous life, I spent lots of time in Iowa, the Mt. Pleasant area. Ate some of the best pork chops and steaks.
