We had a great turnout at Laurel Hills Community Center last night as we heard from James Wilkes from Ashe County! He introduced his app, HiveTracks, which is a fantastic way to keep up with your bees - all in one place! It’s a FREE app, so definitely take the time to download it today, if you haven’t already.
