Hi, i am not a business and the link was just indicative prices from Greek market at the moment. I don’t have nothing to sell at the time so nothing to advertise. My intention is just to see if there is an opportunity for me and forum members to benefit from price arbitrage between the two...

Good Morning fellow beekeepers, let me introduce myself again, I am Yiannis from Greece, and I am a professional beekeeper. The scope of this post is to inquire about the possibility of having beekeeping equipment exported from Greece to the UK as I have noticed that many products are...
