Giving up beekeeping.
After ten years trying to master the dark art of beekeeping, I have had to accept it's not for me.
I have three colonies at the end of my garden available together with quite a few spare brood boxes, supers and a couple of varroa floors. Plus two suits (XL and XXL) and sundries including two smokers, honey buckets, hand operated extractor and filters. A perfect start-up kit for someone getting into beekeeping.
Open to sensible offers, either for the whole kit and caboodle or to break up.
The bees are ok, good honey producers and normally easy to inspect. Queens are not marked as that's one skill I never mastered.
