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.
