We import and sell a range of commercially made and priced gear mostly to bee farmers. Frames, boxes, various boards and wire excluders, floors, roofs, foundation. All fully made up. Not coming to the show to do any on the day selling, it was a last minute thing, was not going to go. Will be leafletting, quoting prices to people, and distributing samples to relevant people. Mostly bee farmers and associations...retail orders below a certain level will be catered for in other ways. It is equipment *the way we use it ourselves*....gadget and gimmick free.
Alongside will be the Jolanta's side of the business, discussing her Scottish raised queens, nucleii (for 2024) and package bees (again for 2024). Jolanta herself will be in attendance.
There will be 6 or 7 of us there, both manning the small stand and mingling in the hall. Anyone welcome to say hello. Stand 9...roughly opposite the Swienty/Fritz block. Happy with that, they are good friends of ours.
Main reason for the change of mind? Its a new show and seeing the exhibitor list decided a presence from the start, even if only a token at this stage, before we launch our website, seems fairly sensible. We are not JUST a large bee farm. This is nothing whatsoever to do with our main bee. If you value your hours spent assembling stuff it might be interesting to do your sums.....
If things go nicely we might have a much larger presence next year.
