Hi Everyone, Looking to rehome a booming, healthy, established colony of bees in a top bar hive. Have had the colony since Spring. We're estimating the queen is about a year old. Super chill and calm variety of honeybees. 20 full bars. Our top bar hive is built to Les Crowder's dimensions and was originally purchased from Steve Wall, who also gave our colony a little check-up on 10/28. Asking $400 Happy to include a hive tool, bee brush, and Mann Lake smoker if you want the whole set up. You can reach me at ziennastewart(a)gmail.com Thanks! Zienna Stewart P.S. I also have a cotton Capital Bee Supply bee suit (xxs) with a zip-on round hat and veil I'm looking to sell separately. Reach out :)
