CRB Buy and Sell

Hello guys, I am a new member. I have a flowhive hive in Monash ACT. I recently lost my colony, and I am putting it down to my poor bees escaping from the varroa mite. I might be wrong but it makes sense to me. I have since done my homework as to what I should have done. I have destroyed the frames. I assume I have to wait to Spring before I can replace them? Look forward to advice, and actions I should have taken.

No need to rouse, I am feeling guilty enough.

"Over the 5 or so years I have had my hive in Nicholls, my reaction to stings has increased from moderate to severe, rather than the reverse.

As a result I am giving up bee-keeping and have one operating hive to give away.

Alternatively I will euthanise the bees mid-winter.

If you could enquire to gauge interest in taking it from my house, that would be great.

Unfortunately, due to sting-risk, I am unable to deliver it.

Buy, sell, swap or give-away bees, honey, hives or equipment
