They are not on the modern website, but he did say that he had some stock. details and measurements are on the paradise honey site.
UPS from Denmark isnt bad- full poly hive, 20 frames (made up without foundation) 20 sheets foundation, frame wire, pollen trap, 10 apiguard and a load of other bits cost me 36 euros. Swienty are very good, if you give them a list, they will tell you what the shipping will be, and it is less than you fear.
Having just unpacked, and painted the hive, make sure that you get at least one complete one, including bits like a cover board and queen excluder. I skipped the excluder, assuming that 1 I had would fit, so now i will have to get one. Hopefully it will be standard langstroth and not a massive problem to get one. It will be easier to make a cover board from a pattern, and takes the immediacy away from having to make one!!
So far, very impressed with the hive, although one point is worth noting. It is only 10 frame, which, by quick view, means that I cannot quite create a second box containing BS frames going crossways- ideal for making up nucs. If I am creative, something similar may be possible. I will be ordering some more for Stoneleigh, and am going to try a national one from Wynne Jones.
Now, some questions for somebody who has used these in anger...!
1. The roof has a lip around three sides, on the top. is this so that it can be reversed and give a top entrance?
2. Has anybody used the plastic pollen trap from Swienty?

I apologise if I am boring people with this enthusiasm- I feel like a kid with a new toy. The weekend is to be spent wiring frames!
