We're not to far away just over the border into Cheshire, based in Kerridge just above Macclesfield. Local equipment supplier also if your interested call in for a chat about bees, Modern Beekeeping.

The Swienty Apimelters are hard to beat or the mini melters that work similar, Logar do mini melter like the Swienty/Fritz one that's insulated. The price point of the mini melters is quite a bit cheaper but they don't do quite the same job but never the less good bits of kit...

I think the Paradise kit is generally overlooked in the UK, probably back from when it was first available here. There was so much resistance to "THE LIP", but this is now seen as a plus to prevent water ingress and provided stability. My hives are standing the test of time so far at 12 years...

Don't forget you can Also try Modern Beekeeping, same price as Abelo.

It's that time of year when the drones get thrown out, basically they no longer need them.

You are correct the product can go direct to the end user but you cannot distribute the product to others for them to retail.

If I can I will add something to this from a smaller supplier “Modern Beekeeping”. We have tried to get products like MAQS but have been totally unable to get anything positive from the manufacturers who suggest we buy from a distributor. However some distributors keep such a large margin that...

Try something like thymovar instead.

Have you considered the Logar extractors from Modern Beekeeping. We have been really impressed by ours, we were sold by the fact that the bottom is one solid piece and completely sloped.

Better not tell you how much of it I sell then!

I used several ton of pre bought syrup each year plus fondant and pollen substitute.

It all depends on the pollen substitute, products that containing natural pollen aren't by default a complete feed. Not all pollen is created equal and many floral sources are required to get the correct balance. When the pollen trapping took place was the diet complete? I think perhaps not...

Modern Beekeeping sell the frames. plastic, wood, pre wired.

Modern Beekeeping to currently have a sale.

We use a honey pump to get it from the sump to the settling tank. it's amazing how much time it has saved us extracting honey not messing about with buckets under the extractor outlet. the dedicated pumps are a neoprene flexible impeller and work very well, plus most have a speed control on...

Modern Beekeeping do a top bee space national poly hive.

If you want a poly hive then the Jumbo Langstroth format is available from Modern Beekeeping and Happy Valley Honey. Sorry for opening an old post.

Another consideration is Logar extractors, there pretty well made bits of kit.

I haven't had any problems with buckling for a long time, this used to happen with the pierco frames but not with anything I have at the moment.

We have several 1000 frames of plastic foundation or completely plastic frames, generally I cant really complain about them at all. The plus side to the argument is how quickly I can assemble or wax them, on the last round we were looking at around 800 frames per day finished and ready for the...
