A lot of kit this year was making more than you could buy it for new.. still a few bargains to be had but not as many as last couple of years. Frames and foundation were particularly expensive. But it’s a good day out and drop on the occasional bargain.

4 Frame Manual Extractor All stainless steel and had very little use. Perfect for beginner. £80 Can package for courier if delivery required. Located in Eastoft, North Lincolnshire.

Last year was one of our busiest years in terms of sales. We normally do one day a month were we offer free deliver to our local area and surrounding villages. On these days we were averaging 90 jars, although just before Christmas was our record breaker with 134 jars ordered. We sell at £4.50 a...

Last years Lincoln Auction had them £100-130. Prior to the nucs full hive were selling around the £100 mark. In 2022 at Lincoln we bought two full hives one for £60 and another in a brand new hive with super for £95.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the quick reply, where abouts in Lincolnshire are you? I maybe interested in the one good bucket (looking for just enough to keep my regulars going as we’ve just ran out)😬

Hi Ben , don’t suppose you have any honey for sale this year? Thanks Jamie

Aready extracted a few supers here in a North Lincs, if it had been any later it would have set solid only just caught them in time to extract😬

Yes North Lincolnshire

We’ve also been considering planting an acre or two of borage. Would anyone recommend somewhere to buy borage seeds? Normal google searches are just coming up small packets!

First swarm of the year has arrived in one of my 6 bait hives. Arrived sometime at the weekend, will leave them to settle in for a few days before transferring to a proper hive. None of my other bait hives have had any scouts at all around them yet!

Yes I think you would have to generate a new QR code, we sell our 8oz jars for £4.50 each or two for £8.

We have a PayPal GR for our honestly box sales. On ours it’s set up with two QR codes one for a single jar and another for two jars, hence the customer doesn’t have to enter an amount all they do is scan the code! 😁

Hi interested in the two singles, I’ll drop you a message! Thanks

In my home made swarm trap boxes I normally have 5 frames in with 4 being new foundation and one being an old drawn comb frame. I wouldn’t worry too much though I suspect you’d still have some success with foundation and a swarm lure if you don’t have any old brood frames!

Order arrived a day early all there apart from instead of a pack of super frames I’ve got a pack of brood but can’t complain will still make use of them. Really pleased with the £4 smoker

Just had a text to confirm it’s being delivered by Royal Mail on Friday fingers crossed everything’s there!

Ordered some of the crown boards with bee escapes on the 14th they arrived a few days later although the plastic bee escapes were missing, not fussed as they were quite cheap. Placed another order on the 20th for one of the cheap pull over bee suits, some frames and nails, smoker and some porta...

Checked 4 of my bait hives today no scouts yet, 2 of those are in a small wood where I at least two swarms most years!

Build a Honey Bee Bait Hive These are the plans I based mine on but slightly modified to better suit national frames. I tend to put in 1 old brood frame and 3-4 new frames with foundation.

Yes North Lincs, had four swarm traps out last year and we were lucky enough to have 3 out of the 4 filled by the middle of May!
