Special to Pelahatchie News
Amy and Tommy Lyle started The Artful Farmer, based out of Pelahatchie, MS, together they process honey from their hives as well as growing and canning all sorts of goodies. The Lyles can be found at the local Pelahatchie Farmers Market the last weekend of each month. (Except for August; the date has been changed to September 6th.)
Their number of bee hives has increased from two to twelve in just two years and they are really enjoying their colonies’ growth. Tommy does most of the apiary work since Amy teaches 2nd through 6th grade Venture students at Puckett and Pisgah elementary schools. Tommy was a beekeeper many years ago so he brings lots of prior knowledge but there’s always the opportunity to discover and learn new things. The local beekeeping community has proven very helpful and that has made all the difference. The Lyles look forward to many more years of beekeeping.
