Hi, I have a WBC hive which has been modified- the front boards of the lifts have been professionally cut away and shelves added. It has been painted white and has three lifts. It belonged to a farm shop, but I haven't found a use for it. Could be used to sell honey from or as a storage unit...

all gone now thank you.

Hi, just to update you- I still have a couple available- they have plenty of young brood and stores and will be going into the winter very strong. Cheers

Hi, I have four excellent nucs for sale, on National frames, with well mated 2013 queens, marked at your request. The nucs have recently been transferred to full brood boxes, due to the huge amount of stores they had brought in, and the rate they were expanding at! I keep good tempered...

these have now gone. Thanks for the interest.

Hi, others may disagree- if you were collecting in the evening- there's no worry. The transporting box should be well ventilated, and the car not too warm. If you want to collect earlier in the day, you may have to give them a light spray of water periodically if its really hot. Evening would...

Yes, I am in Redditch, Worcestershire. Note to Tom Bick- Yes I confess I don't get much chance to check messages or to contribute to discussions in recent months, I have in the past- I work full time outdoors without internet access, have a young family and keep bees- the forum is a useful...

Hi, I am pleased to say that this years queen rearing/nuc making program has been successful, and I have three good 5 frame national nucs for sale at £130 each. Queens are marked yellow, which I find most easy to identify, brood at all stages, and loads of stores, ready to go into a full sized...

PM sent Richiel100. Yes I should add a location to my profile- Worcestershire by the way!

I have an excellent colony which I am looking to sell in a good quality national hive. The bees are a dark british type- fine to handle/ ,good temperament.They don't run about too much on the comb good workers treated last Autumn with apiguard. They are currently occupying approx 7-8 frames of...

My hives have had apiguard on for 1 week. The hive in question has open hatched cells. I didn't spend too long looking for a queen when I discovered them. My thinking now is that i'll continue to treat and take my chances. The old queen was laying quite well, and if they do end up queenless, I...

Yes, that's a good point. I have to be quite honest- i've been pushed for time this year, and had stuck apiguard on all hives without checking mite levels. I don't currently treat with oxalic so see the apiguard as my main control- use varroa floors as well. will try and count the mites, and...

Hi, I (like a few others I think), have had some poor results with queen rearing this year. I have a couple of colonies that are superceding- would you treat as usual with apiguard. I only ask because I know, (and have experienced) how it can sometimes affect the queens' laying. Don't want to...

Hi Tim, I'm in Redditch- North Worcestershire. You would be welcome to visit my apiary some time. I have 8 hives in total and have been keeping bees about 5 years. Made most of the mistakes you can make I think- hopefully have learnt from them. Send me a message, if I can be of assistance...

I have borrowed one from my association and found it very useful, but would like my own to use as and when I need it. If any one knows of one for sale would be very grateful. Chris
