thanks i was panicking i brought 3 boxes and then i was muddling my self up with grams and ml and thinking the 280 was g not ml then thinking it needed to be 340 and i got 280 but all seems good 12oz=280ml=340g thanks again i was stressing over it .

Abelo sell frames in 10,11 or 12s and some you can buy single, also when i was at Bee Equiptment i asked about 11 instead of ten and they sorted me out .

I dont have much experience of buying bee stuff, Bee Equipment is down the road from me but dont do any thing poly that i could see and 1/2 of what i want they are waiting for delivery but i find them a very good price on most things and collection is better than waiting in for delivery's...
