Starting bid of £1100.

very second hand hives, interesting mouseguards to.

 

[waverider]

Deluded on the costing. Will be surprised if they go for that. Hives look knackered.

Even Tho*ne mouse-guards are fairly cheap.

 

[dpearce4]

will be removed by ebay very quickly as livestock anyway.

still in the winter stage i thinks i thought you cant sell livestock on flea bay

 

[VEG]

lol someone will buy them

 

[user 6228]

makes one think about what nuc of bees will be worth in 3 weeks time.

I see the logic.
168 per hive
200 per colony
75 each suit.

But thats "new" prices

At the Ideal Home Show this week a Top Bar hive was for sale for £1,250.

A top price if you ask me. Still, the Highgrove Hen House was just a poultry £3,750.

They were both painted in a baby blue colour so that must explain it.......

What's the expression - a fool and their money.......

It seems a lot of money, probably a couple of hundred too much.

But I think I agree with DerekM. I can see the logic, but I don't think they'll get the price they're asking.

Assuming they survive for the next few weeks and aren't riddled with varroa or nosema, the bees are probably a bargain this year.

Th0rnes' nucs are £240 ex VAT (is there VAT on bees?) in a ply travelling box. Another place in North Hampshire is selling full Nat colonies for £350, in cedar hives.

Some people don't plan ahead, so hives can fetch silly prices at auction in Spring (whenever that is). So maybe £500 for three, even if they're a bit tatty, probably isn't too far of the mark. Suits can be washed.

The stands are firewood - they'd match £5 a bag from the garage
