Looks like my bee farm is now under contract

Hey all, some of you may know that the family farm is being sold. I decided it was time to move on and retire. <br><br>I have 240 colonies remaining and have several contracts from beekeepers who are looking for bees. <br><br>All colonies are on all medium equipment with the top box being a honey super.<br><br>They are all strong, full boxes with 2 to 3 supers and are in ship shape order. The bees are disease free and will survive the winter. The boxes are in great shape and all equipment will be in perfect shape. <br><br>The nucs will be queenright and will be picked up March 1 to 15 on the farm. <br><br>I have 240 colonies and want to keep the numbers below 400 nucs/colonies sold. <br><br>I do plan on splitting some of the colonies before the nucs are produced and will make more that way. <br><br>We also have 50 tons of extracted honey that we plan on selling. <br><br>My intent is to sell to smaller beekeepers and will also give 5 nucs to the local association to sell. <br><br>I have worked on this over the last several years to get the bees healthy and am sure they will be of great quality. <br><br>I am currently the president of the local association and want to make sure all the money from the sale goes back to the members who have supported me.
