Title: Bee Hives?
Post by: Bee Boy on June 15, 2004, 02:36:41 pm

Ok as unlikly as it is I was wondering if anybody near the wisconsin/Illinois border was getting out of the hobby and has any hives WITH bees for sale.

Though we're far apart I have the same question as well...anyone in the South getting out of the business w/ healthy hives, empty or w/ bees?

Just a little advice, Summerbee.  If you get registered with the state it allows retireing beekeepers to have an easier time looking for you.  That's what happened to me when a beekeeper was moving to Louisiana.  Unfortunately, he hadn't seen his hive in a month and when I got to it, it was nothing but a pile of SHB larvae and slime.  I couldn't save anything...
