Keep the spur embedder in some hot water.
Do they also make poly 5 frame nuc box's national size bs, i see plenty of full size hives but have not seen nucs.
Finman any chance of a few pictures?
.
In Finland do most beekeepers use poly hives now, or timber?
Yes they are and those semi professional beekeepers sell hives too.And are most of these insulated ply hives made by the beekeepers .
How do they have insulated wood hives,is the wood cut very thin like ply, to make double walls. .
Going back to this original question, I would try to avoid having two different hive types in the same apiary, except perhaps having 14x12 brood chambers alongside your existing nationals.If I wanted to expand would I be better (considering I haven't bought hives) to move into something else - Langstroth seems to be well though of, or stick with Nationals (which are v popular so they must be okay) Does it get too complicated having 2 set ups?
Yes. (assuming the right eke! eg the 14x12 eke advertised by Thornes). Easy enough to make.Is a 14x12 the same size as a national brood box plus an eke?
