Natural Bee Keeping

Let Bees Be Bees
About Bee Kept
Bee Kept is located in Southern Middle Tennessee and is owned by Adam and Leslie Martin. Our bee adventure started using all of the traditional methods taught and promoted by beekeepers and bee clubs all over America. After failing miserably in our first season beekeeping, we used these failures as opportunities to learn outside of the bee box beekeeping methods. By season two we changed our beekeeping method and mindset, and utilized more natural and sustainable methods of beekeeping.
