2017 Bees and equipment for sale - Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire border SOLD I am in my third season of beekeeping and have decided it isn’t for me. As a result I am going to sell up.

2015 two colonies as one I have recently had a very bad reaction to a bee sting so am giving up bee keeping. I have two small colonies in two brood boxes, one on top of the other, separated by a Snellgrove board. I was aiming to unite these for overwinter, but I do not think I will be able to do this now,  however although I technically have two colonies I am happy for these to be sold as one, if the b uyer is able to unite them. £350 (£25 deposit in advance £325 on collection) for 2 x brood boxes each with small brood (National), 2 x supers (each with drawn frames), open mesh floor, 2 x Queen excluders, 1 x stand |with alighting board, 1 x snelgrove board, roof, crown board with 2 x porter bee escapes & an eke. Most of the kit was purchased last year, one brood box & super purchased this year. The bees are based in Derbyshire, between Sheffield & Manchester. Please email me for my deposit payment options patrick@laslett.com

2014 Two top bar nucs posted 27/5/2014 Currently I have 2 spring colonies (building up nicely), each with a laying intact unmarked queen, for sale. These are 17inch top bar nucs with 5 bars (though depending when they are collected there may not be comb on all the bars). Comb is only connected to the top bars and occasionally braced to the sloping sides so they cannot be posted but should be collected from north west Leicestershire (near M1 J24). On the border between Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire £200 per colony (£50 non-refundable deposit to secure, £50 refundable cash deposit on the nuc box and £150 cash on collection for each colony). These colonies are from sustainably managed hives that have all overwintered at least one winter and have never needed chemical treatment.
