Bumblebee Junction

Bumblebee Junction Welcome to Bumble Bee Junction, our small (7.25 acre) eastern TN homestead. Our photos section is extensive, and we encourage you to have a look around.

Bumble Bee Junction is located in Eastern Tennessee and was established in 2009 when we moved to TN from NC where we enjoyed the same homestead lifestyle for many years. We have several gardens, an orchard, grape arbors, kiwi arbors, chickens, ducks (Rouen), and a desire to be as self sufficient as possible while providing various goods via our ETSY page and quality produce to friends and family.

We are both Disabled Veterans and raised 4 wonderful children - who have shared 2 equally wonderful grandchildren with us. We love interacting with our members / visitors. Everything we've learned came from someone else - so sharing is the least we can do. To support our efforts, we occasionally offer handmade crafts from the homestead on our ETSY page. It is listed on this page as our website, and we hope you will give it a look. We hope you find our page here useful as well. Maybe give us a "Like" to follow along on our adventures. And if you have a few minutes, our page here has a button that says "Invite Your Friends To Like This page" and we would appreciate you helping your friends find us via this feature. For now... Kick back... Relax.... Stay a while... And enjoy.... :) And if you have any questions, please ask :)

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have completed our move but are still working on unpacking. Special thanks to those still supporting the channel. We hope to return once things settle down. We've also purchased 10 acres nearby for some upcoming projects we are eager to share as we get to them. Stay tuned. Rumors of our demise are highly over exaggerated... 😆 Peace, Mark & Tina

BANDIT (Nov 2008 - Apr 2023)
Today we lost a dear friend, a companion, a protector, and a family member. Bandit was an 87.5% Eastern Timber Wolf that we got from the Lumbee Indians of N. Carolina just before moving here to TN. Smart as a whip, he learned all of his basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, fetch, shake) in half a day... So what did we do with the rest of the day? Well, we taught him the same commands in sign language. As the family guard dog, we were reluctant to share his name / languages he knew / etc so that the locals would not become too familiar with him (putting him, and them, at risk). But he was always loyal to us, and anyone that we accepted - he accepted also. Please do not confuse him with the Husky puppy we have now - Ginger. You will be seeing more of her soon. But today we honor Bandit for the wonderful companion he was, and we will cherish him in our hearts, where he will remain. We often regret not sharing him more with all of you. Please know that he was very special to us. We are sure our paths will cross again one day. Blessings on you and yours. RIP Bandit. M & T
