Does anyone know when the poly national hive advertised in BeeCraft will be available? I have looked on MB's website and its unclear (unless I've failed to spot it). Keen to get my hands on a couple.
 
have you tried Rooftops direct?

from the MB site:

"John Laidler says:

If you register for our Newsletter, which you can do from the front page of our website you will here about the hive as soon as it is available."
 
i can see where you're coming from admin (sorry that was unintentional) but if a true representation i'd advise seeing your GP about getting an ultrasound booked or at least seeing if it transilluminates with a pen torch!
 
But just remember, they are not all the same!

M*d*rn B**k**p*ng - top bee space, same footprint as BS National, only holds ten frames (which is no bother whatsoever). Easily modded for bottom bee space timber supers, if you wanted to, I would think. Likely there (stocked), but awaiting Stoneleigh as launch date, is my guess?

B**h*v* S*ppl**s - larger footprint than BS National but takes the standard eleven frames. Bottom bee space. Box jointed boxes (rather than closed joints, I believe) so may not be as robust as the MB offering (in extreme abuse situations! - the way PH treats his polyhives!!).

WFP - Invisible and likely to be for a long time - but I am sure WFP would allow anyone stupid enough to part with their money now (on a WFP promise), to pay now and perhaps/maybe/possibly collect later!

There again, you might finish up with a b**h*v* S*ppl**s, or other, version instead (at a much later date than you expected).

I also heard someone in N. England is planning to bring in some Swienty nationals.
Await Stoneleigh so they can all be inspected.
 
I understand that Swienty have been making more nationals and Wynne Jones hope to have them mid/end April,
