Adapta Stand

Is it just me or do others think this invention is a bit of a faff on, also with the copied JBM under floor entrance i see two points on either side where robbing could occur.

Well that wasted 10 minutes of my time and made me realise I need to go back to work and buy a much bigger bee shed!

I see quite a number of "new products" there for Thornes to sell. The thing that really surprised me was that all of these "options" were slid in from the front. Surely, the frame is just a frame. The part that really matters is the insert which could, just as easily, have been slid in from the back. That would have made sense.
Also, if we ever get small hive beetle, there are lots of nice hiding places in this floor for the beetle to lay its eggs.
Nevertheless, I am sure lots of people will buy them.
