For those that don’t know… I have packed up the shop and placed my inventory into storage at this time. The shop has closed down and I have placed my home up for sale. As of 12/09/2022 I have moved down to the Sunshine State of Florida permanently to move on to other ventures. I will miss all of you in NY and I thank you all for the great run I had in the Hudson Valley teaching beekeeping, helping new beekeepers out, selling bees, catching swarms and selling beekeeping equipment. If you are interested in purchasing the storage locker in whole either to sell the equipment and use some of it for your own apiaries, reach out to me through private message. Way to much to list here.. but it’s a lot of stuff. Asking $4000.00 or BEST OFFER. (Contents are in storage in NY). Again.. thank you everyone. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all !
