I have two from fragile planet. They don't stock them any more. Such a useful bit of kit. I am going to buy a big sheet of correx and make some myself

I have subscribed to this and await confirmation of prices and availability, they seem pretty good and can double up as a Nuc during the summer so fingers crossed they will be substantially less than a poly Nuc.

He's good at saying imminent.

I bought one as a template..... could not make one at same price as correx sheet was almost as much as the unfolded nuc kit!.. and I am no expert at Origami!

Eventually invested in a few ekes to my existing collection of std National pollies to satisfy the occasional demand for 14x12s

** get the 2mm stuff... the 4mm does not like to bend so well!

The ekes are really useful...I'm using some for feeding fondant ATM on a nuc...which already has one on it as it is a 14x12 nuc. I could do with a few more this year too.

Tremy my sweet!
You just can not have enough kit.... or mugs of tea for scaffolders
( Skibber is being readied for repointing!)

Ground hog day tomorrow... just been out and given him a carrot... Deu he is so grumpy... landlady at the local pub says he is banned unless on a lead.
Bit her and chased the pub cat last year!

A case for reverse engineering... to excuse the pun.

I bask in your endearment
Are you doing refurbishments?
Obee1 has some of those correx boxes...she was using them for her bee expansions. She thought they were good I think.
Ground hogs...nasty little critters. I hope you threw the carrot or you could lose a finger...

Very long round trip to borrow one of mine!

There was a company in Spain producing a Langstroth version.... but quantity and costs needed to supply to UK made them a tad expensive.
Had thoughts of overwintering in them... possibly with a cosy?

You could study the flat pack photo from the company that Bates represents and scale it up to a 14x12

i bought a 14x12 correx nuc from Weald Place Farm Bees (a name from the past) who thankfully no longer trade in bees) it did arrive and i used it for swarm collecting and gave it to another swarm collector to use

His wife recycled it,,,,ahhhhhhhhh

I can always bring it to the WBKA convention (along with the heather honey cake) and you could draw round it The nuc not the cake

That would be great thanks, agree cakes are for eating not drawing around

Ah but if you drew round the cake you could make long life copies in hardwood. Could be almost as long lived as dwarf bread

 

[Erichalfbee]

my cake won't last long enough to get drawn round
