Anyone have any idea in terms of numbers of how many beehives sell in the UK per a year?

Haven't go a clue but why do you ask

Anyone have any idea in terms of numbers of how many beehives sell in the UK per a year?

Hives sold per year = ((Total hives in UK - Home constructed hives) / average hive age) - Imports per year + Exports per year

Except that, for many established beekeepers, they don't buy complete "hives" as such. They buy (or make, or import) an individual box, roof or floor (or multiples thereof) as needed to expand or replace.

Does that include vans crossing the border to pick up cheaper EU hives under the radar
