Hi, we just post through the post office. Its around £28 to send a nuc on a Special Delivery before 1pm. That's 5 frame correx box weighing on average 7kg, bracket being 10kg. Royal Mail only, do not use any other courier, including Parcelforce! A Royal Mail contract didn't work for us given...

We are based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire not far from Bristol and its highly likely we will need to take a bee keeper on next season.

You need high density micro bead EPS (Poly) atleast 100g/l. They shouldn't chew it, or anywhere near as bad then. Most packaging is larger beads (easily chewed) and 30-40g/l. The celotex with foil is probobly the cheapest option. High density poly is not really widely available, we had some...

EPS prices have risen significantly recently as a result of COVID-19 and coupled with further Brexit issues this had led to an increased cost from the manufactures. Most of the UK produced polys are made in the only factory that has the complete monopoly of the market (being that all other...

I've been hoping this question would appear on the forum one day. We sell a lot of Nucs and inevitably there are a few issues along the way, where maybe a Queen has gone missing in transit or between them being inspected & collection (or postage). This issues are few in comparison to how many...

They do, it's patented and made by park beekeeping. They had them at national honey show - https://www.parkbeekeeping.com/product/poly-insulated-roof-4/. It was something I was working on before we realised they were in existence and patented.

How they can sell them at such price is beyond me, with that being 18.33 ex VAT plus the entrance spinner, mesh & perspex. The unit cost for the poly alone would be that without transport.

Any reason you opted for brads? We use A type staples in all our frames, they fix the frames together well. We do have a compressor but you can pick up small and cheap one's easily. We use the Draper 57555 8-25mm Air Stapler which small, lightweight, quick & reliable. We are assembling around...

3 years old now, got in the season of 2015. I'm guessing they've updated the control box in some way?

Exactly what we have, another issue is the rack doesn't actually hold 42 + frames for our extractor so we have to stack them up to keep a constant flow is frames ready to load.

We have the Lyson circulating hot water one - https://www.instagram.com/p/BkC-T-cHyb2/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1w19nykobnkc4 Gripes are - Gravity fed so sometimes can grab one side of the frame first when your backs turned & jam it all up. Could do with a chain fed system but is only on...

We already run Lyson setup including uncapper & premium 42 frame extractor. The prices are relatable because of the cheaper labour cost in Poland. I have a few niggles with the uncapper but can't really argue with the extractor. Last I enquired was €26000 + VAT for the Lyson line which is...

Also very interested in this equipment for future expansion, highly recommended by a Polish friend of mine that quivered at the fact I was looking at a Lyson extraction line (being a Polish company).

Hi Mark, we have loads of stock I just haven't had a moment to program in all the new shipping rates (impending new arrival shortly). Ours have branding though as Laurence said. Bee Man took a pallet of plain white ones off us last month, maybe he has some going spare? Further to the 6 frame...

Yes we are booked at Stoneleigh Tradex, Welsh Convention (pending confirmation) & Harper Adams Spring Convention :) Totally agree and this is the reason we choose to stay within these boundaries. Lyson (Abelo) boxes are being produced over 160g/l which you loose the thermal properties. The...

Launching March 3rd for Tradex! :)

Straight on

I can confirm they do fit :)

If you are looking to do it as a business you may want to register as a "not for profit" as with all the running about it is not a viable business model without charging the earth. I have been there and it was not worth it in the end. Also had the company owing us a substantial amount of money...

Really interesting, we have used sublimox for the past 3 years but it is just too slow doing 300+ colonies. Any idea if there is a UK supplier?
