Moving to Germany for a few years & retiring from beekeeping, for the moment.

[eddiespangle]

Hello

I'm moving to Germany for the next 3 years and therefore having to quit beekeeping for the moment. Selling all my equipment and bees - all the kit you need for a small but productive beekeeping operation. All kit, unless specified, was supplied by T******. All kit is less than 5 years old.

Eddie
Have you just taken loads of exams as well?
No doubt be useful in future, perhaps you can beekeep in Germany.

I plan to do the remaining theory exams whilst in Germanmy and take the advanced husbandry when I get back to Blighty!

I'd have them

So would i if i thought SWMBO wouldn't notice the sudden increase and the new shed at the top of the garden for all the kit

Hello

It's an 8 frame radial manual extractor manufactured by Giordan. With fittings for tangential extraction, which I’ve never used. It comes with a stand.

I’ve only used the extractor twice, it’s in immaculate condition. I’ve also got the original box.

I am certainly keen to take one of the nucs as I am setting up for the first time. Would also be interested in extraction equipment. Will give you a ring to discuss tomorrow if you are free.

Thanks
P.

I have just started and have one hive of bees . I would be interested in another hive ad some bits and pieces to get me going

Hi All. Would anyone be interested in splitting this lot with me. I would want everything bar the 3 nucs of bees. If you would want one or more of the nucs PM me with the ££ you are prepared to pay for them and it would help me be able to pay Eddies asking price and save Eddie having to split the items. Thanks Eddie.
