Isn't B Conley that awful comedian/variety performer who has now turned to musical theatre?

I'm more interested in this statement "There are 36.00 of EU Fund to be clamed for each Bee hive you buy and put to work".

Who do I see for my 108 euros for next year? :D

sorry to disappoint you - the funding is just part of the huge tranche of EU cash being poured into states like bulgaria.

wonder if the hives will actually exist or if the Ebay paperwork is used as "evidence" for the hives existing?

Virtual Greek olive anyone?

BTW have you seen where in bulgaria the seller is located???

not bad though - £45 annual return from what appears to be one frame of bees!!!!

£45 on paper. If there is a contract. If it is enforcable. We are talking Bulgaria here.

Even if they do exist, it is an enterprising way of raising hard(ish) currency to invest in his business rather than borrowing from banks at an extortionate rate and losing everything.

I woulkd imagine this way, if he goes under (or things get, ahem, sticky) he'll just stop writing to you. Otherwise he gets cash invested now, he builds hives to attract EU levies and then pays you back over five years or so and he wins.

I'd do it if it was tied into a microfinancing company or charity, but being on ebay, it feels a bit shonky.

You would not be covered by any of ebay or Paypal's protection.

If you didnt get your 45 euros after 12 months what could you do? Nothing.

I know somebody who bought an apartment in Bulgaria.
She said that if she complains about something covered under the building maintainence contract its like telling the Mafia what they have to do.....
