Farmers with a view to profit obtain early swarms from heavy feeding which are put together into new round skeps.  Each year during mid July, farmers gather their skeps in preparation for the bee market.  Great care is taken to insure the health of the bee colonies during the bee market.  The swarms are brought to the market and placed on top of rows of straw to keep the young colonies off of the damp ground.  Behind the skeps, a fence row would be erected to serve as a windbreak.  During rainy weather, the fence row would be leaned over the hives to help shed the rain and protect the skeps from the elements, while still maintaining access for bee flight at the front.

At the Bee Market on a farm near Veenendaal, prospective buyers look warily at bees. A hive of bees typically sold for around $3, and are bought for pollination and honey-making.  Bottom right, -two beekeepers haggle over prices
