Norfolk Honey - Honey Bees for sale
HONEYBEES FOR SALE 2012
Buy your first 'nuc' of honey bees from Norfolk HoneyHoneybees for sale 2012. Beginners 'early starter' package.
I believe those who are just starting out and taking up bee keeping for the
first time should be offered a special deal that is not only good for them
as new beekeepers, but also good for the honeybees as well.
Beginners. This is a special package just for you - and
the bees!
These are the
first bees that I will be supplying in 2012. The bees and the equipment
will be ready for collection from Norwich early in the beekeeping season during
the last week in April or the first week of May (weather permitting).
My early May offer consists of a nuc of honeybees
in a brood box plus an extra set of equipment and an online queen rearing course
so that you can 'spilt' your colony and breed a second colony with a laying
queen before the winter
2012/2013 arrives*.
*Using the NBKA's valuation for a hive of honey bees the total value to
you in 2013 will be over £1,000
This is what I will supply:
• One five frame nuc of Ken's bees on Standard National DN4 Hofman self
spacing frames = £195 -- read more
• Two Standard National brood boxes with made-up undrawn DN4 Hofman self
spacing frames (one with the bees inside) £70 each = £140
• Two stainless steel open mesh floors with entrance block £30 each = £60
• Two crown boards with central feeder hole £10 each = £20
• Two flat roofs £35 each = £70 Please see my labled
equipment photograph
• Two supers with made-up frames = £150
• Two queen excluders = £20
• Two plastic 'rapid' feeder buckets £6 each = £12
• My online course Queen Rearing
for Beginners. My course gives you step by step instructions and explains
in detail how to 'split' your hive in two = £80.
Total above £749
Given that you understand the basics of bee keeping then simple
queen rearing is not difficult to do and all you need is the extra equipment
ready
in advance (as supplied
above) plus clear instructions and telephone support.
I am limiting the number of orders
that I will take for this offer to
10 (on a first come first served basis).
If you would prefer to pay the deposit by cheque just pop one in the post (made payable to Patrick Laslett please). My address is here
Extras
Beekeeping suits, smokers,
hive tools etc. are also available.

Why am making my first offer of the year involve two brood
boxes like this?
During May, June and July I will also be supplying four frame nucs in a brood box and four frame nucs in a traveling box. I will publish my prices for these mid April. Please email me and ask to join my buybees Google so that I can keep you informed.
