Post by: Wojtek on November 06, 2010, 02:33:31 am
5 used KTBH (ornamental) and 3 nucs are for sale in north-west of Chicago. 3 of them are with bees.

Are you having a problem selling these hives?

If I read your posts correctly, you were told in April 2009 to get rid of your bees. But at the end of 2010, your still selling them off?

Have you been fighting this in some way? I must of been sleeping, as I have not seen anything. What's going on? Anything the bee community can do?

I understand your some kind of surprise. I am not a business oriented person. I am rather anti-talent for this. All I did was putting a note about my situation on this forum and on my home page. The result was selling one full size hive with bees and one nuc with bees ( 10 topbars) There was not more interest. Besides I was lackey to find a place where I transferred hives with bees. 20 miles from my place, not convenient but somehow I was able to maintain it. Now there is another trouble. The property on which I put my bees is foreclosure and I have to do something with this hives and bees. I don’t have any contacts with local bee community, no time to look for this but this is probably what I will have to do. Simplest thing for me is to destroy bees when the final date of eviction of the owner of the property will be established but this is pity and sorrow.

to bad you can't buy the property!  have you tried something like craigslist.org.  seems like they get lots of readers.  posting ads is free.

Thanks, kathyp for this hint I just glimpsed on it. Looks potentially helpful. Have to learn haw to “ride” or “drive” this medium. Just don’t know if I find enough time for this.
