    I’d like to know if I could put a few bee hives in your field of sage

    We are from the Outer banks and will be driving westward through your area mid May. Is there a specific road or roads that would take us past the clary sage fields. I am a dare County Master Gardener Volunteer and also a watercolorist. Being able to smell and take some roadside photos would be a highlight of my year.

    Thank you,
