Note that Notts BKA have their auction this weekend at the Newark showground. I went last year, about 1/10 of the size of Lincoln, and there were no bees for sale, but may be of interest to some.

When you buy a nuc at auction I assume the cost of the travel box is included in the bid price?

Yes, some boxes are better than others.

But the cost of the nuc box would be irrelevant as you would be transferring it to a full hive.

The price is more for the bees, how many frames they covered, some were better than others!

A family member of mine went to Reigate auction at the weekend and she said "- there were 3 lots each laying, overwintered queens, 1 yr old, with 7 frames of bees - the cheapest went for £255, the highest was £360!!!!"
