New for 2024
1/06/2024
SOLD
I have an overwintered nuc that has swarmed in April and has a new 2024 unmarked laying queen.
Nice, calm bees plus 9 frames currently with a roughly equal mix of brood, food and foundation that will soon need a second brood box or super to allow expansion.
Bees are located in north west Leeds, West Yorkshire.
To make things straightforward, the only option I am offering is for me to deliver at a cost of 25 pence per mile for the return journey, for a total cost agreed in advance using mileage from Google maps.
That way I can close the hive up the evening before and we can transfer all the bees early the next day without leaving any behind.
I can deliver in the Yorkshire and East Lancs area.
You will need a spare hive ready to receive the bees and I would like to deliver them as soon as possible to free up my own hive.
£95 (£20 in advance £75 on delivery) + travel costs as above.

One colony of bees across 9 fully drawn national frames of brood and stores. 2023 queen, unmarked.
£25 in advance plus charity donation plus delivery cost to be agreed as described below.
Charity donation made after delivery will be to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/meanwoodfarm2023
Well behaved bees that can be opened without smoking when weather is fine.
9 fully drawn DN1 frames with brood and stores. 2023 unmarked queen.
As this set are larger than a nuc, I will deliver the bees to your site and transfer them to your hive.
Otherwise you would have to make 2 separate trips to leave an empty hive and then pick them up which is too much time and effort.
I will deliver within the Yorkshire and East Lancs area only, from Leeds LS6
Delivery will cost £0.25 per mile for the return journey which we will agree before delivery, using an estimate of mileage from Google maps.
The charity donation amount will be pay-as-you-feel but I ask that the person taking these bees recognises the spirit of this by making a reasonable donation and does not seek to profit by quickly selling these bees on.

Honeybees for sale in Leeds
2018 I have a colony of bees available Leeds
Cost: £125 bees and 10 new frames. (£25 in advance £100 on delivery + delivery costs)
The queen is unmarked, captured in May as a primary swarm near, but not from, my hives. So the queen is almost certainly at least in her second season.
I have kept the bees for 2 months and they have very recently been inspected by the regional inspector as part of a routine inspection in the area.
The bees quickly filled a nuc box with brood and started building wild comb in the roof, so they are now in a brood box of 10 newly drawn DN1 frames, with plenty of brood on 7 frames when checked at the weekend.
The bees are placid. I have not needed to smoke them even when cutting the wild comb out of the nuc roof.
There is no noticeable Varroa drop over the last couple of weeks.
I am selling this set as they have outgrown my available space.
I live in Leeds, W.Yorks and prefer to deliver the bees personally on a weekend so I can get the hive closed up and transported with all the bees safely inside. I charge £0.20 per mile for the return journey. I can deliver in the West/North Yorks and East Lancs area.
For example, if I delivered from Leeds to York (28 miles) I would charge £11 approximately. I can give an estimate of delivery cost before delivery.
I have to deliver at the weekend and prefer to deliver early on a Saturday morning. I would like to deliver on Sat 28th July if possible.

I treat the apiary with Apiguard in August/September and oxalic acid in December/January.

Additional information:
Only available for me to deliver in the Yorkshire area for a return mileage cost of 20 pence per mile. E.g. a round trip of 50 miles will cost £10.00.
Delivery cost will be agreed in advance.
Sale includes bees and 10 frames only.
These bees are very good natured. I only use smoke to move them away from the frame lugs when lifting frames and hardly ever smoke them before opening the hive.
In fact I have just inspected them on a nice warm, still evening without any smoke at all. They didn’t bother me at all.
The bees are surplus following swarm management in the apiary and I am selling because I will soon need the space and equipment. This is reflected in the low asking price.
They should make a nice strong colony going into winter.
My preference is to deliver early in the day (weekends only). That way I can close the hive up late the evening before and deliver them to you ensuring that you get all the bees.
The frames will need to be transferred to your own brood box on delivery.
I would like to deliver them over the weekend of July 19th/20th if possible.
