You are a guest on their land. If it looks to be a good site then be grateful If it appears to have issues then say no thank you. Make sure you have a back up plan in case it doesn't work out and you need to move the hives. It's much better to accept their friendship and freely give them a...

12th April

Very impressed with the service. I ordered a variety of items in their sale yesterday and ticked the Free postage option, and today my order arrived. Can't complain about that

I purchased some items from Abelo earlier in the year, and the Sale prices are definitely cheaper. Make sure you click the SALE link on the left of their homepage.

Abelo have a poly sale this week.

This is just another fun experience relating to the hobby of beekeeping. Waiting for the sales, ordering more than we need because it's a bargain. That nice warm feeling inside that comes with saving a pound or two off of the original price. I wonder how many people that knock on my door asking...

Shows the usefulness of the multiple choice written test 🫣 My children tell me I drive like an old man. Not very fast and not willing to take risks. Glad you made it home safely James.

Opened my new 11 frame deep roof abelo Poly Hive that arrived yesterday. Same footprint as wooden nationals so my older equipment is fully compatible. I just hope my bees like it

 I made a candle yesterday using a pringles tube. I used the biggest wick.I had. urev

I recently ordered an 11 frame hive with the deep roof, which includes 2 supers. The national wooden supers do appear compatible with this Hive, which pleases me. Bearing in mind that I will only be using the additional wooden supers during warmer months when there is nectar being collected it...

Happy new year everyone. 🍻

I was having the same thought here.

I am planning for beginning of April

with parcel delivery being slow at present due to Bank Holidays and strikes I will wait till the new year. If they have a sale that would be great, but if not its no major issue. Some excellent ideas on here. Thanks everyone
