I can’t seem to find the list of what’s on sale on Thorne’s website. Do they put up the list at the last minute?

I think the important bits are there, if they’ve removed the superfluous bits that normally bulk out some sales it’s no loss

It is always slightly tempting to buy more frames in sales. I don't actually need any so I've been steering away from them, but on the other hand they'll all get used eventually...

Too many - but not nearly enough

I buy a few hundred frames in the sales every year
The stack in my stores never seems to get bigger

24 + a few nucs....this has to stop!
I kept a lid on it. The more I buy the more I increase, the more I increase the more I run like a headless chicken, the more I run like a headless chicken the more I want to decrease!!! I have only bought enough to increase by 3 more hives, I have done well 🤣

Probably the same people who brought up all the loo roll a few years ago!

I tried to get a couple of floors, but computer said no at 9.30am!

shame Maisemore aren't having a Poly sale in January any more

I see Abelo will be doing some good deals at the new Beekeeping Show at Telford in February though. I'll be heading there instead of the old Bee Tradex at Stoneleigh

The Maisies' poly have gone through the roof!! I was paying just over £40 3 years ago, now £65-£67... I will be going back to making wooden ones!
