[VEG]

Just thought I would remind you all sale starts tomorrow and ends nov 30th

 

[drstitson]

perhaps others could remind us how the quality of the seconds compare with, for example, a company beginning with T.

BTW not yet worked out how to fill a Smart online.

 

[VEG]

I dont like their frames at all and would think T's seconds are better than M's first, but M's seconds in hives are better than T's seconds that have more knots

personaly i buy both M and T supers, T frames, and Tob bick's 14x12 brood boxes and floors

Is there a list, or does that not appear until tomorrow? Couldn't see it on their website.

 

[VEG]

What's the main problems with M's frames?

 

[Winker]

Is it just me or their online prices just the same as before the sale?

 

[Nic Rhodes]

isn't the stuff just in the sale and clearence section?. Just bought 15 frame feeders (I hope!), BS deep plastic at 5 pounds each, less than half the normal going rate. I seem to be using frame feeders more and more as they are reliable.

"What's the main problems with M's frames?"

I'm curious about this too, as I have about 5-600 frames to buy.

Anyone?

Also, I agree with Winker, price are a bit "Meh" for a sale, and is it my imagination or is therea smaller range of items in the sale than previous years?

I have only used thorns seconds frames in their bees on a budget national hive. They went together with no problems. I bought 300 m****** frames from last years sale and 10% of the end bars split several side bars have split they seem a step down from the thorns on a budget.

 

[VEG]

This is from their sales page

"These items might have slight splits, discolouration or knots but are prefectly usable."


Note the last couple of words "perfectly usable". If they are not then contact them and they will have to replace them.

I was planning to get some hive parts at the Stockbridge sale next week, but bearing in mind MM prices include VAT and T's don't, it comes to the same amount, and as its over £200 that includes delivery.

The sale page looks very limited, but if you include the clearance section it makes more sense.

Thanks for the link to your photo Muswell M, looks like you got some expensive kindling there - bearing in mind M mention the frames are perfectly usable, I will probably hedge my bets and order some from them, and some more elsewhere.

dyslexic MM, should be Tom Bick...who is on here , either him or Hivemaker also on here both make good hives

I buy the best brood boxes, floors and roofs i can and save money on the supers becasue they spend most of the time in the shed not on the hive
