Thank you to The Urban Beehive for facilitating the bookings, pick up and drop off of the extractors, wax processors and wiring boards. The Sydney Bee Club is very fortunate to have a shop that is able to do this for us as we would otherwise have much more limited hours that this equipment was available to be picked up/dropped off and transactions made.
The Urban Beehive is located at:
Unit 21 19 McCauley Street Matraville 2036.
They also have beekeeping items for sale at very competitive prices. http://theurbanbeehive.com.au/shop/
