- Too many - but not nearly enough
they are made in mainland Europe (Poland maybe?) so Brexit had an immediate effect (I remember Jonathan warning us of an imminent price hike during the spring convention), big difficulties then on processing the freight at Coquelles so drivers reluctant to take on any jobs which involved going to England, thus they raised their prices substantially, then raw materials - they are plastics, so as oil prices soared so did the raw material prices.Why are Maisemore poly nuc brood boxes the most expensive piece of poly nuc equipment they sell,
more than one competitor out there selling poly nucs - Paynes were around long before Maisies, BS honeybees and a few others sell similar bits of kit
- Is it because they have a monopoly on poly nuc brood boxes, whereas all their other poly nuc parts have competitors?
