Cedar with pine locking bars, interesting.

That did seem odd.

My thoughts exactly, maybe Patrick could enlighten us on the reasoning?

 

[Hedgerow Honey]

Cedar & pine mix, that could cause issues shorly as both will expand/contract at different rates ????.

Insufficient quantity of cedar parts!

Excess of pine parts

a clever trick for marketing dubious kit? forget different expansion rates - that stuff is going to rot in a thrice

I treat all wooden hive parts now. Doesn't matter whether it's pine, cedar, or lignum vitae. I don't trust the quality of any modern timber. Takes seconds per super with the sprayer. I'm also investigating wax dipping as an option

Bee Equipment have 24 hour offers on this week and today's is National cedar supers for £14 (2nds I'm assuming, but I usually buy 2nds anyway!)

Don't you need to add VAT to that price?

No, that's including vat

Too many questions he didn’t like or considered inappropriate as part of his assumed ‘forum spomser’ privallige

Always risky to assume; I've found.

 

[Erichalfbee]

I guess he's just busy.

 

[ldwgs]

yes 14£ but after add to basket its 28£ "magic"

good company to buy from, staff helpful + prompt delivery

No VAT inc just add delivery cost

Be good to compare the prices vs the latest sale that's just started - I suspect a small increase across the board !

Frame prices look to have gone up by about 10% compared with the ones I bought in their sale last year.

I don't recall ever comparing them before, but I'm surprised at the cost difference between, say, DN4s and DN5s. The latter being about 30% more expensive.

I always used DN5 but after the last increase I decided I can't justify the extra expense anymore.

I'm thinking along the same lines.
