1 x Full Colony of Sussex Mongrels housed in a 12 x14 Jumbo Paynes Polyhive - quiet on the comb and nice to handle, this strong and productive hive is headed up by a 2016 Queen descended a few generations back from my super bee, Ruby, a Buckfast Queen extraordinaire! I took over 100lb of honey off this hive last year.
Sale includes cedar stand, plastic queen excluder, crown board and two poly supers with frames and this colonies drawn comb ready for the honey season. I will also supply this hive with a used empty cedar 12 x14 Jumbo Nuc box. Both hive and cedar nuc box are in good order and are around 3 years old.

Both have overwintered very well on single brood and have just been fed with fondant to boost stores. Included in the sale is the Cedar hive stand, queen excluder, crown board, solid floor and two supers with a mixture of drawn and undrawn super frames ready for the coming season.

2016 3 Langstroth Complete colonies East Sussex SOLD
I am, after many happy years, being reluctantly forced to retire from beekeeping.
I have For Sale, 6 over-wintered colonies (three sold) of gentle locally breed bees. I have inspected these briefly, and they are all very healthy with eggs and various stages of brood . They are building up good store reserves and bringing in loads of yellow pollen. They are housed in Langstroth hives, consisting of a mesh floor, brood box with Hoffman frames, queen excluder and 2 supers with Manley frames, cover board and lid.
They were not fed this winter, nor were they treated with oxalic acid and have all come through remarkably well, and strongly. All of them have at least 6 frames of bees but most of them, more.
Price: £235 each (£25 in advance £210 on collection) - to include bees and used hives as described.
I also have For Sale, approximately 10 used Langstroth hives, consisting of floor, mainly mesh, brood box with frames and a super with frames and a lid. I am letting these go for £60 each for a quick sale. (£10 in advance £50 on collection)

2015 UK bred, over wintered, honey bees in a 6 frame BS poly nucs
Experienced, professional beekeeper has a number of UK bred, over-wintered, 6 frame, BS national nucs for sale, available in April / May 2015.
This beekeeper has worked for a commercial bee farm in the South East and was responsible for producing hundreds of honey bee nuclei and full size colonies to private beekeepers and commercial bee farms alike. He also has FERA accreditation for disease recognition and control (DASH).
These bees will have been treated, healthy and inspected prior to delivery / collection. They will also comply with FERA guide lines for sale of bees, as an absolute minimum. This includes brood disease guarantee. The bees will be sold in a high density polystyrene nucleus box, which is yours to keep. They will have a travel screen fitted to the top, so that the bees don't over heat on the journey home. This housing will be adequate for the short term (i.e. hours or maybe a day or two), but will need to be transferred into a full size hive to allow them room to expand as soon as possible.
Optional extras include a delivery / installation services, so that you can be sure of safe transfer into their own hive (i.e. no squashed queens). This service is offered for an additional £40, plus 40 pence per mile (both ways) from the Burgess Hill area.
You're welcome to pick up your bees in person. In which case, you might be interested in the following. For an additional £10, we can cage your queen the day before, thereby easing the transfer into your own full size hive.
Price for these professional quality nucs is a very reasonable £195 each. (A £20 deposit in advance the balance payable on delivery / collection).
