Thinking of selling some extra hives next year as I don't have enough space.
What's a medium with 10 frames with brood, honey, pollen, laying queen worth?
(Guess you say it's like a nuc)
i wouldnt let it go for less than 90 to 100 but thats me. most others would probably say somewhere near that.

We sell 10 frame deeps, frames and bees only for $120. With hive box/solid BB/migratory top $160.

A hive in the box is worth 2 in the bush.
If you look at the price of buying 8 or 10 frame hive complete your looking at about $160, Bees around $60.00 for a 3lbs box, and Ive been told the comb is worth its weight in gold. Now lets add the price of comb that already comes with its own food supply, a laying machine, maybe weight in gold and silver :-D. I have seen hives including colony on craiglist selling for $160 to $200 in Colorado. The add never says how many boxes you get though.
this spring i paid 85.00 each for two five frame nucs placed into my own eight frame deeps.
i would imagine you could double that for a ten frame hive and woodware.
