Selling bees

[Sasha]

Hello, I have some beehives which I need to sell- 10 hives. Given the current sad situation of beekeeping in NZ, I am wandering if this is possible at all. I see there are not many posts here in the forum, which does not give me any hope.

I apologise if this is not the proper part of the forum for this question.
Thank you all. Hope you had a good overwintering experience this year.

They are still being bought and sold. Cheaper than they used to be that's all. It is the commercial sector that is suffering, but with 10 hives you are in the hobby market and there are still plenty of people interested.

Thank you Alastair. Is there a part of this forum for selling bees by any chance?

There once was but I took a look and couldn't find it. Other alternatives are Trade Me or Backyard beekeeping on Facebook. (Much as I dislike Facebook 🙄)

Thanks, I think I will start with trademe. FB I just stoped using couple of years ago.
