Old Castle Farm Hives 6 Frame Dual Poly Nuc

[Matty Brown]

Has anybody tried the new old castle farm hives 6 frame dual poly nuc?

It is available at a very good price of only £45
Only seen it yesterday, seems to be a copy of the BS honeybees poly nuc. Does anybody know if it is compatible with maismore poly nuc parts?

Looks interesting. Shame they didn't put a second feeder hole so if people are overwintering 3 frame nucs, both can have fondant separately. Think it would be possible based on the way they've put the feeders.

Price is £54.99

Where do you see the price being £54.99, I click on the link, and I see the price being £45.83.

Perhaps that is without vat.

Sorry I think they have a cheaper price for customers buying from Ireland, as those customers have to pay higher shipping and customs costs. I see in the advertising description that the price is £54.99.

Modern beekeeping also have cheaper prices for customers buying from Ireland.
