Hello, we are selling our home and moving out of state later this summer.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to take our two colonies with us.  We are offering them to anyone in the club who can come get them.  They need to go before we close on our house (mid-late July).  We plan to restart beekeeping after our move, so we would prefer to keep the boxes.  Please bring your own boxes to haul the frames if possible.  The two hives are 8 frame and each have one deep and three mediums.  We also have an approximately 30”w  x 72”l x 20”d wooden stand for the two hives.

The bees are from last year and we’ve seen both queens this year.  We also treated with Varroxsan Oxalic Acid Strips this spring.  One hive was becoming honey bound in May so we extracted approximately a gallon of honey.  There is still plenty…

Retiring from Beekeeping, equipment includes:

hi all,

not really a swarming situation, but I had some older beekeeping equipment in the garage (boxes & frames, mostly empty, but a few with honey on them), left the garage open while I was mowing the lawn, and apparently a few dozen honeybees found the frames (they were stored in bags). for now, I pulled everything out of the garage and removed all the empty frames from the boxes. is it okay to let the bees clean everything up, or should I toss everything? I verified with my father-in-law that he had had no issue with disease (other than varroa mites).

I had planned to start hives this year, but had some uncertainty with a work situtation, so putting it off until next year is the plan.

any advice appreciated!

David Shultz HCBA continuing education class met at my house this week and we created 2 medium 5 frame nucs that I would like to sell @ 130 each. They tested 0 mite count. Queens are strong, overwintered, and 1 yr old.
