Thats the ones.
Thornes maybe a little cheaper.

When I use them I try to keep with the year colour they are used,so next years are blue.
 
cheers mark
only going there as dont think thornes does paypal,i may be wrong;)
 
They look like the plastic spacers I have seen being used but my instincts tell me this is very old fashioned beekeeping. I use Hoffman frames in the brood chamber and Manleys in the supers. However, I know lots of people use spacers and are very happy - so go with the spacers, but then there are people still using WBC hives...

On the plus side not all extractors take Manley frames so using narrower frames is appropriate at times.
 
Why not buy proper frames in the first place, namely Hoffmans?

Makes life so much easier.

I must admit its a pain adding card details every time I place an order.
Maybe its something Thornes could think about..
They use Paypal for their Ebay account.
