The OP is from June 2019 at that stage I don't believe Abelo nucs were on the market? Thread was bumped this morning.

This one?

Return them; as the item isn't as described the seller is liable for postage.

Just what I was going to suggest to do or alternatively if you know someone whos handy with a 3D printer they could make and print you some. The lack of a queen excluder seems like poor oversight by the designer.

What mini nucs are you using? The Apidea and Chinese clones come with a small queen excluder.

This is the one I have, in 750w: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07H6P9GCJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quite a convenient way of doing it, I did about 150L last weekend and just left it to it, after a few hours it does heat up a bit which helps dissolve the sugar...

Just to reiterate this as many people talk about a Christmas or even New Year treatment at which point could be too late; this article is worth a read: Weather to treat - The Apiarist but basically try and observe a prolonged cold snap and when the temperatures recover to about 8 to 10 degrees...

I store mine wet, usually a wooden crown board top and bottom and a few thin clear plastic crown boards every so many supers. Then strapped tight and stored in my container as high as it will allow. Currently in the process of making dollys so I can roll stacks of them to the door when needed...

Why not use the round pan shaped sieve with the pull out handles that rests on top of the bucket?

Made up about 150 L of 2:1 syrup. Removed 20 supers ready for extracting. Released a caged queen.

I try and remove them first thing in the morning or late in the evening; helps prevent that from happening. Checked a few hives here, flow looks like its almost stopped; super frames hardly being drawn now however thats gave them a great opportunity to cap some supers so I put clearer boards...

I typically just use the one side now until they build up and then remove the divider when they are ready to expand; I prefer the nucs to face the same direction but good to have the option in case you are running low on kit.

My best year as well but I was a bit blindsided after how terrible last year was. Few deeps are on as supers; I purchased 32 shallows last year and have been scrambling to build frames as I wasn't expecting to need them all; had considered selling some older ones however it looks like instead I...

Honningcentralen SA are the Norwegian distributors for Lyson, might be worth contacting? Forside

Could have absconded from a mini mating nuc?

No rain since the 13th here, some forcast for tomorrow afternoon though.

Started early again this morning, was nice at that stage as was a bit of a haze and breeze. Soon warmed up. Flow has definitely slacked off however I'm wondering how much the recent lack of rain would be playing its part? Never the less the remaining supers I extracted earlier in the week went...

Paynes, Maisimore and Thornes all do them. Looks like Paynes are the cheapest?

Great price - 92p each. In comparison, second frames on sale are usually sold in batches of 50s at £28 so 56p each. The foundation on that site is £6.50 for a pack of 10 so 65p each. Already at £1.21 before you consider the time-saving. Don't deliver to NI though unfortunately.

That's excellent, a pity it's out of stock. I will enquire.
