Why Did Kamon Leave “Hive Life”?
Beginning in early 2023, Kamon Reynolds, Dustin Wiggins, Tn’s Bees, LLC, Appalachian Hivery, LLC, Hive Life, Inc. and other associated persons and entities became involved in multiple lawsuits between themselves and their various businesses.
All of the issues in these lawsuits have been resolved by agreement between the parties without any party admitting any liability or fault.
As a result of the settlement, Kamon and Laurel Reynolds will continue to operate K&L Bees and the North American Honeybee Expo, and TN’s Bees, of which Mr. Reynolds is now the 100% owner.
Dustin Wiggins will continue to operate Appalachian Hivery, LLC, of which he is now the 100% owner.
Hive Life will remain in operation but no longer has any association with Kamon or Laurel Reynolds or any of their businesses.
