My wife was walking round Costco today and saw the frame of honey being Sold
For £44.99 .This is cheap compared to Cartwright &Butler website where it's priced at £80
The frame looks like either a national 14x12 ,or Brood frame ,no experience on this type of honey product .

There is a lot of acacia comb imported from Hungary.

It is used for chunk honey mostly but some sold in full frames or as cut comb. (In recent years the normal has been getting the chunk honey done in Hungary and brought in in jars)

Price not ridiculous..and its not crock of gold trading in this....we got a deal one time from someone holding over 20t of it that was getting a bit tired to extract it all for them. Few years back now.

Used to buy it in myself and sold these full frames via the long gone Habitat stores.
 
no, it's certainly not a brood frame and definitely not 14x12
It normally comes in in a local Hungarian size...bit shorter than a Langstroth and about the same depth as a Lang medium, sometimes aka 'Dadant depth' in the UK. Arrives in single use boxes with a wooden framework and hardboard sides. Have known beeks to buy them and adapt/treat them for use on their own bees.
