| Bees for sale? | |

| If "Other" please explain | |
| I plan to sell all my 10 frame Langstroth equipment and 6 of the 9 colonies i have located just outside NYC. I operate an educational non profit and have too much to handle, planning to use 8 frames or alternative that's easier to handle. I would be interested in partial donation to a school or community garden. The bees are from local nucs bought in the Spring and swarms from the area. Additionally, I have some supers in need of repairs and boxes of used frame parts. | |
