Two National Bee Hives for sale

These are 18 month old National bee hives. They were bought new from a commercial bee hive manufacturer in Gloucester. The reason for the sale is that i am using all 'Smith' size hives and i bought these hives for the bees last year. Hence these do NOT COME WITH BEES OR FRAMES. But are all cleaned, treated and prepared for the new season. They include -

# One Floor and ventilated roof each

# One brood box (plywood) and two supers (solid wood) each

# One Crown board and Queen excluder each

I have just treated these inside and out with CUPRINOL CLEAR, and the outside has also had a coat of 5 YEAR WOOD STAIN

I have a total of 5 of these for auction, all identical. This auction is for the 2.

As you may have noticed, i also have one other on auction, with the option of claiming another 2 making the complete total of 5.

Cash on collection is fine. I am happy to deliver within a 20 mile Radius

Please note that i will not be completing this auction early with any 'buy it now' offers. So good luck and ........... happy bidding!!

P.S. I am based in NEWBOLD VERDON (Between Leicester, Cov, Birmingham, and Nottingham.
