[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 10421, member: 13"] Sorry I missed that bit. There is some shonky stuff being sold and a new beekeeper with no experience has little way to tell the difference. You can even buy a diseased hive that has to be destroyed as soon as you get it and yes, that happens. So when buying a hive with bees it is highly advised to take an experienced beekeeper with you to look over the hive pre purchase. If you buy the hive from an advertisement, first link the ad here so experienced eyes can look over it and offer their advice. [/QUOTE]
