CIBA Annual Beekeeping

Equipment Auction

The Central Iowa Beekeeping Association will once again have their Annual Beekeeping Equipment Auction on April 18th starting at 10am. Lunch will also be available. The auction will be held at Curt Bronnenberg’s property in Perry, Iowa. The location is not at Curt and Connie’s home itself, but there will be “auction” signs posted on highway 141 that runs through Perry. There will be someone available starting at 8:30am to help get equipment unloaded and signed in. Consignments will also be allowed the day of the sale. Consignments will be inspected. There are many buyers that are looking for good clean equipment. Spring is here and the bees are waking up, so come and pickup that extra equipment you need for the new season!

Please contact Arvin Foell if you have any questions.
