Our bees can't come with us.
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 of honey in that colony.
Please call Doug at 301-706-5974 or email at DougBrauer1@gmail.com. The bees are located at 14905 Cobblestone Drive in Silver Spring. Please call before coming.
