Annoying ill advised sales!!!

[johncorne]

There is one on there now with a "buy it now" price of £49.99" - and supposedly 38 sold already!

I guess it goes to show that if you can fool enough of the people some of the time, you get rich (well, it worked for Bill Gates!)

Here are the three feedbacks on Amazon:

1.This hive is too big to attract bumble bees and totally unsuited to bee-like insects other than common wasps or small swarms of honey bees (complete with stings). Removing the these hives will make you honey description is only part way to removing misleading statements about this unsuitable product. Only honey bees use frames and no stingless honey bee exists in the wild in the UK!

2. I bought this as a present for my husband. I was so disappointed when I was told that it was not a beehive, but it was in fact a nucleus which is used to transport bees, and unfortunately is not sufficient to be used as a hive. I think the product description is very misleading.

3. Please do not buy this thinking you can keep honey bees in it and get honey from them. Fact - honey bees swarm. Fact - all honey bees sting in the UK unless they are drones and you cant keep a hive full of them. Fact - only honey bees utilise frames. The item description reads like its a honey bee hive and its not. Solitary bees wont use it. Bumbles may use it but the frames would serve no benefit whatsoever. I suggest the description is changed to say that this could be used for insects and spiders and would make a pretty garden ornament but that is it.

Incredible!
