For Sale: Observation Hive
We have a nice observation hive that Dave made (one frame + one super with glass on both sides) that we'd like to sell for $50. (Sold!)
I even made a cover for it out of fabric with bees on it for when we took it to schools, meetings, etc.....only slightly used.
Also have a standard refractometer we'd like to get $50 out of....listed in Dadant catalog for $84.95.
Have several quart jar feeders that sit over the hole in the inner cover. Would take $1.00 each for them & the quart jars.
We used them in an super whenever the bees needed sugar water in the spring.
Our phone # is 319-364-4449 and we live on the SW side of Cedar Rapids near Wilson School.
We got rid of almost all of our beekeeping gear but still have these things to get rid of.
THANKS!!!
