My name is Carmen and I am the face behind Nooga Honey Pot. I manage 30 hives across three counties in Eastern Tennessee. All of my hives are feral, rescued bees. I grew up in a small agricultural town in Polk County, Florida where my father and uncle were beekeepers. I currently reside in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
I remove honeybees from structures, collect swarms, and sell handmade and wildcrafted salves, soaps and hive related items in small batches. My hope is to show people how to love honeybees through hands-on experiences and education! I am proud to be a Pick TN Products vendor.
Beekeeping in Appalachia:
Beekeping is regional. Beekeepers in Montana are not doing the same thing as beekeepers in Florida and beekeeping in Appalachia is a totally different ballgame!
Do you know that Appalachia consists of 13 states and consists of 5 subregions? The weather in Eastern Tennessee ranges from hot (90’s) and muggy in the Summer and cold and wet Winters. We have a higher rainfall average than the entire United. States and Chattanooga is in a Temperate Moist Forest Biome. While beekeeping in South Central Appalachia has its own set of challenges, it can also be very rewarding.
