A couple of over wintered Nuc's inbound in the spring from a reputable supplier so hopefully that ones nailed for next season or even the one after, simply don't want to get caught without enough kit.

I'll compare the wood against the poly before buying and see how it looks

Great thanks, I'm pretty competent with my carpentry skills so Im sure the bees won't get tooooo squashed.....

Thanks, made a load of frames up but not made it on to supers yet so its a whole new world out there!

As a Newbie I'll take advice from anyone with a greater experience than myself (which are most!) I'll be disappointed if they are not compatible as I bought the new 12 frame Apolo on advice that they are fully compatible with standard BS gear.

Hi all, please go gently with me if Im asking something ridiculous!! Ive bought Abelo's 12 frame poly hives with a couple of Supers each, these are top bee space hives. As the price of individual poly supers is high Im probably going to purchase a bunch of cedar seconds in the upcoming sales...

I emailed Abelo recently and managed to get a discount as I can't make it to the show in February, I think I got around 15% discount and that was just on 3 12 frame hives

Hi, a little late reading your post but found it very interesting - thanks. Can you tell me where you find out about the auctions please, as a Newbee Im still trying to find myself around the various information outlets. Thanks

Many thanks James, much appreciated.

Would the labelroo cope with Hexagonal jars, or is that a step too far? Thanks

Our local club made one very similar to this for use in the summer using an old double glazed single window and frame, seems to me to work a treat - in the summer.

Good luck with your endeavours, great to keep your Dads memory alive like this.

Id have to agree with all three choices here, as a newbie and spending a lot of time away recently I made the most of Youtube and BMH and NHC ended up as my 2 go to sites.

Hi all, I recently missed out on buying a whole stack of seconds frames in the recent Maisemore Sale because I was faffing around too much with my order and didn't realise its end date! Can anyone advise when they normally hold their Winter sale please? Thanks

Hi all, I’m currently undertaking the basic beekeeping course with the Torbay Beekeepers Club, hopefully learn some of the basics and necessities this season and then jump in to ownership next year. Having carried out a fair bit of research and listening to much advice I am split at the moment...

Thornes in Exeter have virtually no beekeeping stock in at the moment, went in last week and was told probably nothing until April.
