yes agree

Our oldest member who wins all the honey prizes in the BKA has hives that look worse than that .

The hives leak bees like a sieve and one of his hives in a wood near a public path was reported to the RBI that is had been abandoned fortunately the SBI had inspected it earlier in the spring and new it wasn't abandoned

I know you have - every Sunday in Soweto (the part of our association apiary where the 'feral beekeeper' is allowed to have his bees - for all the rest of you who don't know what we're on about!)

Well I reckon one of you must be bidding on them 'cos they've just gone up to £6.50 !!

I can vouch for that..... :icon_204-2:

Those are wbc lifts and probably cedar. Seen the price of buying those new recently? If you live near there the current price of £6.50 is hell of a steal. Price of proper kit these days is so much so 2nd hand, IF you know how to clean it and if its not falling apart / full of holes is not a bad option.

Sols for £52.32 .... FIFTY TWO POUNDS and 32 pence !!!!!

Good grief ....

My other half was offered two second hand hives for £250 - ovno - the other day!!!!

REDWOOD · Sep 19, 2014

I think I should go into hive production and sell them to Swansea beekeepers

Make sure they have plenty of ventilation holes though

bontbee · Sep 24, 2014

perhaps I should have added, he didn't buy them - sorry Redwood!

And no holes required here jbm; thanks for the thought though
