Beekeepers gather for largest auction of its kind in the country

The largest auction of its kind in the UK, with more head of livestock for sale than any auction in the country, takes place at the Lincolnshire Showground on March 23rd.

It’s the annual Lincoln District Bee Auction, when colonies of tens of thousands of bees as well as a large quantity of beekeeping equipment will go under the hammer from 10.30am.

The Lincoln District Auction is said to be twice the size of any competitor. It has been taking place for 45 years.

Equipment for sale is in one of the Showground’s buildings, and colonies of bees are ranged outdoors.
