£1.79 is indeed cheap, and postage from China at 44p is astonishing.

I sent for some goodies from China....took a while to arrive but they sent messages to check if I had received them. A small magnifier etc...very useful and very cheap compared to UK prices.

I just got bee brush, grand total £2.17 delivered
Exactly the same as the one i lost in long grass, or was it left in a hive, who knows ......
Paid £8 for last one and this is exactly the same
Arrived in 9 days
Will order more at that price as i keep loosing things, mainly hive tools, but did find one last week in a hive that i shut up quickly last inspection, due to grumpy bees .........

Ask how these items are made and that explains the cheapo price.

I would hazard a guess that the ones on ebay and other retailers which cost £8 + are made in the same factory......

That's a good price even if they only last one season

Could also use them to make cheap settling buckets.

Great minds think alike (and fools seldom differ!)

And they do them in both white and a fluorescent yellow!

Exciting or what?

Could you point us in the direction of the plans if any you had for the extractor?

For those tempted stick to the natural non pigmented rather than the yellow, as food grades of masterbatch (yellow pigment) for this nylon product are expensive and almost certainly not in these.
And just because it says its says its food grade...

Given the quality of the ones from suppliers here, no doubt.
