Summary

On October 12–13, 2020, a Beaver Island seller offered a complete beekeeping equipment lot—including two hives, protective clothing, tools, winter feed, and books—for $500 and reported it sold the next day.

Evidence limits

This is a seller’s first-person advertisement followed by a reported sale. It does not establish the buyer, the equipment’s condition beyond the seller’s description, later beekeeping activity, or the accuracy of the claimed retail value.

Sources

  1. A seller offered two eight-frame hives and associated protective gear, tools, feed, and books for $500, describing nearly $900 in new cost; the following day the seller marked the lot sold. This documents an advertised local beekeeping-equipment transaction, not the buyer’s identity, later apiary operation, or independently verified valuation.
