A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[1]

gollark: https://www.reddit.com/r/bees/comments/5kf5lz/urgent_what_is_the_volume_of_10000_western_honey/ seems to have some information, though.
gollark: This random website says bees weigh about 0.1g, but Wikipedia only provides information on bee length, not volume.
gollark: Bees probably compress quite well, I'd think.
gollark: Interesting question. All the search results I can find after about five seconds looking are for beeswax, which is of course a less interesting question.
