and very few hives with bees, went above £100!

Some said a bargain, for just the brood boxes, supers, roof, omf, strap and frames! (without the bees!) for £100!

(the last lot really struggled to reach £96 -ish, most returned to the auction room!)

Empty WBC hives in the Auction Room without Bees, went for more than £100!

and I think MAQS strips sold for more than T****s sell them! (those that were in date!), and an electric uncapping knife for £40+, and 3 frame new stainless tang. extractor £100, and I think a 9 frame thornes radial (plastic) for £100.

So, some bargains were to be had, somewhere..

Interesting day compared to last years Bee prices!

(as for me my cheque book stayed firmly in my pocket!)
