Hive for sale

[ian]

Hi


Not selling fast!!!

He's just moved about 200 boxes of bees over onto Langstroth, and that's not including hives that were in store.

With 1 hive I am sure most things are faster.

I would suggest fast is relative

But not as fast as no hives at all?

Hi to you all
Sorry I have not responded earlier,
I have been selling hives like crazy, 38 in the last two weeks.
So in response Hawklord they are selling, but things are seasonal like everything.

Barbs85.... The move to new Langstroths went ok, do I regret the move over ... NO....would I do things differently, if I was doing it now...YES... hindsight is a wondeful thing. I am not really able to comment on the honey crop though, because we had such a dry year down here!! I concentrated on getting them down and increased to 250 as well.
Are you really at 600+ hives?

I still have 30ish hives left in Nationals, for those who are interested. If you are after commercials just 2 hives left and also 2 spare brood boxes, be quick there is interest.

Also Smiths for those who really want a one off Christmas bargain.

Hi Ian how many are you up to now?

Regards Mike

I wouldn't worry about losing honey crop changing over to a different type of hive. Do a shook swarm as early as possible in the Spring and show them a field of rape as soon as possible afterwards. They'll be on two brood boxes before you know it and there'll still be plenty of honey in the supers. This at least was my experience this year and I am planning to do it to all my other colonies in 2010. Of course I don't have a large numbers of hives but the principle is the same. I did the shook swarm in late March and the rape was in flower a few weeks later so feeding was still necessary for the first week or so.

I have more than 100+ hives and other equipment for sale as I have totally changed over to Langstroths this year. They are mainly Nationals with a small number of Commercials, 14 x 12's and Smiths. I would like to sell as complete hives to include Floor, Brood box, Crown board, two, three or even four supers (all castellated) and a roof. They are used but in good condition and have been treated with Cuprinol this year.
There will be NO frames or drawn wax with these hives.

Please PM me for contact details to negotiate price.

KENT AREA.

Hi, please can you tell me what price you would accept for 4 Nationals as above with two Supers each? To be collected of course!
Thanks and regards.

Hi Mike, Just wondered if you had any national hives and what your best price would be.

Many thanks

C'mon boys and girls. It says clearly :Please PM me for contact details to negotiate price.

He may have an e-mail contact as well which might get his attention sooner.

fyi Mike seems a nice guy but can take a long time to reply, even with PM's (v.busy)

 

[VEG]

Why not simply post the prices in the first place?

 

[Mike Lane]

FYI VEG
The price depends on how many you want. I admit I am slow to reply as running the number of hives that I do, does not leave a lot of time to answer. A PM can get a discount from me. They are all off to an auction soon so grab them while you can, I need the space.

Regards Mike

Auction on the 9th so get a move on if you are interested
