Bee Auction

Over the weekend, someone I know went to a bee auction in Hay, and posted pictures on Facebook.
("How do they bid?" asked another friend. "Do they wave their little wings around?")
It was lucky the weather was good, because it was done in a field, with all the bee hives laid out in rows. My friend is getting her swarm from somewhere near Arthur's Stone, having recently done a beekeeping course.
If she hadn't mentioned it, I would never have known it was happening, but there seemed to be lots of people there.
