Just on my way home after watching the first few lots of bees going for around £50. Glad I'm not selling
Looks like it's been a mild winter in terms of losses.
Just to update on my way past the gate, heard some later ones going for £120 or so.

Glad I found homes for mine before the auction.
How disappointing for those selling, but good for buyers.

There was a child's bee suit which I fancied for my grand daughter but when a little lad started to bid for it I hadn't the heart to bid against him. Didn't stop a woman from snapping it up from him.
 
It was a good day out and my first time their. Will definitely go next year and take some kit to.

I came home with three colonies in the end.
