[VEG]

Just seen an ad in the january bee craft mag. Painz are having a sale from 26th dec and full poly hives and other bits on sale.
Hopefully admin will allow the picture of the ad as I know quite a few will be interested.

Yes, was £82, the nucs seem to have increased more than the hives. Glad I got my order in and didn't wait.

Are beehives like sofas - always on sale?

This is odd, as I rang them about a month ago to be told that they wouldn't be including Poly hives in the sale.
Wonder why they changed their minds, although maybe the lady I spoke to was simply wrong. Ah well.

I look our companies. At least one company tells that poly hives are sold out.
It means that they do not want to fix money in a store over winter.
It is May, when guys actually need them.

Brood chambers are what I'm after so I'm happy to see they've included them.

I'm looking to get some 14x12 brood frames and some super frames, not sure whether to wait untill the thornes sale or go with paynes.
I always seem to buy and then they are cheaper a week later somewhere else!!!

Paynes had a one-off crate of slight seconds Poly stuff advertised on Facebook - this morning I had 2 roofs, a feeder and a 14x12 brood box for £40. Sadly no floors...

thats not fair as lots of people don't have a facebook account. and don't actually want one either.

Shall we run a poll to see how many on here don't have internet access ?

Bet you'd get some weird answers lol

By my reckoning, the stuff that was 'advertised' on Facebook was 2 roofs (painted), some lightly used feeders (some painted, some not) and a few 14x12 brood boxes with dings.
They were surplus to their requirements but not good enough to sell due to the painting and/or some minor, cosmetic damage.

I was first to rummage through the crate bagging 2 roofs, a good 14x12 and a good feeder. The next chap had 4 items too by about 9am so they're probably all gone now.

They should over winter quite well, with the mild weather so far.
