Have you bought anything in the sales?

[IBeeHere]

With lots the sales on at the moment I was wondering what sort of things people are buying?
I'v recently purchased some frames - seconds (14 x 12) and Manley supers along with a feeder and rhombus bee escape.

[Luminos]

A new 14 x 12" brood box.
Was going to modify a standard BB to 14 x 12", but discovered it's too full of woodworm

Its only a 4 hour cross country dash (each way) and I could maybe fit it in on a work day............off to see a supplier dear..........
Couple of months back I nipped to Chichester to pick up a bee related e bay purchase......... just happened to visit one of our factories there to look at some machinery.........
Last time though I met Jenkinsbrynmair at Heathrow and exchanged cash for goods in a car park under the flight path........
Where there is a will...........


I was a bit tongue in cheek to be honest as like last year my wife will be coming to the sales, she is good in a checkout tussle. I have pre ordered some stuff for this Saturday from Fawns and hope to get a couple of on the day specials

I'm using profits from bulk sale of honey this year to purchase items in the Th0rn3s Rand sale next weekend ...

I'm buying 4 gimp pins

 

[beekim]

There are lady beekeepers as well! i need hubby to carry what i have pre ordered and what i might buy this weekend.

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

There are lady beekeepers as well!

But husbands don't mind so much their ladies spending money on beehhives etc - it's a novelty to see boxes arriving that ain't got shoes in
