Steve and Sandy Forrest began raising bees in the 1970s as a sideline. When thieves stole their 80 hives one year just before the harvest, it proved to be a disaster with the proverbial silver lining. The Forrests decided to make and sell beekeeping equipment.

The company is the biggest beekeeping-equipment company on the East Coast and second largest in the nation.

After Lincoln's assassination, North Carolina-born Vice President Andrew Johnson faced insurmountable challenges as the newly appointed southern Democrat President. Johnson wished to follow Lincoln's precedent in preserving the Union and to make Reconstruction as swift as possible, but radicals in Congress such as Thaddeus Stevens wished to treat the seceded states as a conquered nation.
