Hive Type
National
Number of Hives
3 National Hives & 1 Observation Hive.(Indoors) & lots of empty boxes..
Due to various health problems I cant look after all of my hives as they deserve to be cared for.
Therefore I have for sale..

1 full colony..Stand/floor on legs. Brood box and at present there are two supers but might want to remove one to keep. This hive also has a Warre "quilt" box on the top and a Warre style roof. There may be a couple of odd frames that came from my obs hive and fit in place with extenders on the lugs.

I also have an over-wintered brood box..This only has a floor and no proper roof...

and also a double nuc. This nuc is from 2013. It over wintered into 2014 and then I got ill. I had to put another nuc on top to give them room. They did swarm later in the year but appeared to have come through the winter OK.
Last time I looked inside the top super was full of stores.

Also the fact that I had last year planned out as to what I needed to do, like put the new shed together.Do some welding on one of the cars. Some paintwork on the other car, build a couple more hives..........then got ill end of April and not able to do sod all until after Christmas. So I have a backlog.
I asked the consultant if it was Ok to book a holiday and he said yes...:sunning:

Hi Dishmop,
So sorry to hear that your health problems force you to sell some of your Bees. I do hope that all goes well for you and that you can still keep a few, but most important is that you feel good about it.

Get a nice holiday booked and enjoy that. All the best and get better soon!!
 
Yes, holiday important. Therapeutic.
My husband having radiotherapy at the moment, but hospital been great and fitted in so we go whale watching off Baja peninsula 2 days later.
Get well soon all of you, we need you here!
 
I am so sorry to here not `well. Go and have a holiday and enjoy it. When my wife was diagnosed with MS we were told not to go on holiday, it was a special one for our 25th, We went and disregarded the medical advice and had a wonderful time.

Please PM I am interested in your bees.

Hello,

Like others I am sorry to hear about your health problems.

I have nearly finished a bee keeping course and am looking for my first bees. So I am very interested in what you might have available.
