Wanted national hive setup any cond- for garden ornament!

Hi

As title, as close to Worthing near Brighton as possible

In memory of my father I'm after a national setup with a super, brood box and national tin covered roof,

All his equipment was passed on but now I have my own home I'm building a garden in his memory and so after a beehive for a centrepiece,

Any condition as not for beekeeping use,

Many thanks

Could try e-bay but be cautious you don't pay more than new, or http://www.worthingbeekeepers.org.uk/

After seeing the stupid price some pay for firewood on ebay, you are probably better getting a new budget one!

Make sure you seal the entrance. Otherwise you might end up with bees in residence anyway. An empty hive is just the right size for a passing swarm.

Hi Ashley

I have some kit that is past its best that your more than welcome to. Im sure I can make up a brood, super and roof and they are commercial so the same as your father used.

PM me and im sure we can sort out you collecting it.

Or worse - last year I ended up with a colony of Hornets in an empty hive. Never even seen a Hornet before let alone a large nest. Truly frightening.

It happens quite a lot I'm afraid ... but I think we are a fairly generous lot on here and always give people a chance and some very kind offers have been made at times - only to see the OP disappear after the first post or two ...
