no, i have no interests, commercial or otherwise, just giving a heads up

Is that manufactured by our very own Tom Bick?

 

[winmag270]

indeed it is, according to the advert

There are four pairs - really useful product and useable for two queen systems too. Of course if you can't lift supers then top bar hives make total sense as an alternative.

What I noticed was at the bottom of that epay page.

(Chinese?) shallow foundation at £30 and deep at £38 for ten sheets

Time to remind newbies that they are being ripped off, if they succumb to that ad!!

£30 for 5 quids worth is a rip off

Certainly extortionate and likely pesticide loaded - who knows

I think you'll find it's £38 for 50 sheets of deep / £30 for 50 sheets of shallow......

I still wouldn't touch it though.......

You are right. I was assuming it was the same rip-off as earlier in the year. Apologies to easypet on the price, but as you say, still not to be touched with a barge pole for potential quality issues.

One 'pack' of each would still be considerably cheaper from KBS (only one lot of shipping costs)
