We received this information and wanted to pass it along.
I am reducing the number of hives and have some equipment to sell. I have 40 to 50 deep hive body frames assembled with wired wax foundation, with hooks. I also added the 4 wires through the holes on the sides of the frames. They have never been in a hive. I would like to sell them for $2.50 each. If interested contact Donna Rogers in Emporia.

Adam Holland got a request for bees in Southwest Dinwiddie County near Ford, VA. The land owner has 20 acres personally and about an additional 100 acres that he is representing. He would prefer someone that is willing to act as a mentor but it’s not required.
If you are interested in setting up hives on this land, please contact Adam at: adam.holland78
Please provide your name, email and phone number to Adam if interested.
