No, you aren't missing anything really. Swienty are cheaper, at £100 (but not better value for money IMO)Am I missing something? Several people have mentioned that the Abelo is more expensive than the Paradise but it would appear from a quick search the the opposite is true.
Abelo assembled unpainted - £125
Paradise flat unpainted + hive strap - £135
As a comparison with another pre-assembled hive, Paynes is currently £118 (but that's in the sale - usually £139)
(I have a theory that in 5 years time people will look back in bemusement at the days when we assembled our own poly hives)
