and do you pay per bee, or per 1000 bees, per hive?
The people must be told!

In my head, it's per bee.
So the auction takes ages as the auctioneer has to do each individually. What with viewing and so on, it gets very complicated.
In reality, I think they sell them per nucleus - that is, queen and retinue (or whatever you call the non-queens in a hive).
How my folks're going to get them from Lincoln back to Stoke is anyone's guess. And is getting bees like getting a cat, in that you have to keep them indoors for a couple of weeks so they don't run off?
Soooooo many questions.

Then you train them to walk across your toast,
thereby saving a fortune on knives.
