[Newbeeneil]

If anyone is free next Saturday and short of a few beekeeping requisites I would thoroughly recommend this.

Oh my ... It's going to be a long day .... although, I'm a bit disappointed that there appear to be no Porter Bee Escapes ?

Yeah, and I didn’t put any hive nails in this year!

I noticed a pair of leather gloves that might do well ... perhaps make a £1 ... Although the star buy might be a pair of garden shears !

 

[Newbeeneil]

I'm short of crownboards and roofs so I will wait until next week before I make any just in case I can pick some up cheap.

 

[Fellstoflats]

Is it odd that I've been looking forward to this coming online since the 18th?

Think I'll down tools until the weekend, and bring a trailer just in case- better safe than sorry..

Although, having said that, every time I bother to take a trailer to auction, I never buy a thing.

 

[pargyle]

Who is going then ?

I'll be there as I have permission from 'er indoors to go and bid for a pair of shears and some welders gloves and I have been given £2 pocket money, there may be enough after my bidding for a coffee ... I'll be wearing a blue Fareham & District Beekeepers polo shirt, a blue Musto jacket with matching blue bush hat ... you won't be able to miss such sartorial elegance so, if you spot me, come up and say hello.

I can't say I'll last the whole day as some rain is forecast and on past performance I suspect it will extend into the early evening ....auction overload may set in !

 

[Wilco]

Permission denied...

 

[Fellstoflats]

I'll be going- I assume weather has no bearing on whether it goes ahead or not?

 

[Newbeeneil]

I’ll be there, probably the whole day (8.30-6.00) if it rains there will be some real bargains later on.

For the hardy few with the patience of a saint ...

It always is. In my experience that’s a lot of lots of bees. It’s only normally 5 or 6 colonies.
I was emailed today and asked to confirm I was taking my lots as there was a lot of interest expressed and people were travelling quite a distance.

You missed the opportunity to say “lots of miles” just to get another lot in there.

 

[The Poot]

£1 for a numbered paddle board is a bargain!

£1 for a numbered paddle board is a bargain!

And you get your pound back when you return the paddle! What more could you want??????

Shame there are no matchsticks.....

 

[Wilco]

Shame there are no matchsticks.....

Perhaps we should enter a box of matches as a lot next year...

 

[Newbeeneil]

Yes and enter it at Lot 300?
