Had this done By Jason Davis, Staines road west.

we use DN5 for brood frames and I think there is about 30 per row and SN1 for supers with approx 40 per row. You can make it as large or as small as you like.

This is what we use. Made it a number of years ago. It’s on wheels so can move around the unit and now have a second one.

We use these trolleys as overflow once the boxes are filled

Spoke to Roger in the summer about the new Langstroth nucs with removable internal feeder, he says they are going to be developing that idea into national nucs. Not sure when though.

As far as i know, but i would go with the xero if i was not committed to sage as those i know who use it, love it.

Quickfile and Wave are free at the moment. I say at the moment because what was the best free one Xero is now pay monthly. I know many who use it and like it. We have used Sage for the past 8 years and are so used to the way it works. Our accountant wanted us to go with quickbooks but we did...
