Suppliers

[Ape Resi]

Hello all!

I am just wondering if there is scope to have a subsection in this forum for suppliers? or a linked page with just a straight forward list of equipment suppliers? as a new bee-keeper I seem to rely on one but i am sure there are more!

what does anyone think?

ps: or you can point me to such a list already in existence?

ps2: or feel free to PM with links I can follow!

thanks for reading! R

was just about to say the same - the prices on broods and supers seem very reasonable I don't know if anyone has any experience of them

There is a (google based) map somewhere listing suppliers, but I cannot find the link. Perhaps someone can oblige.

Type beekeeping supplies into google

Often (always? as in they aren't doing commercial brood boxes as there weren't any seconds to be had) seconds. I have a pile of flatpack supers atm - done seven so far...cedar at less than you pay for white wood elsewhere (no idea if they were Th**nes as I believe some is) and a heap of frame seconds which vary in quality quite a lot. Do the business and saved the chaos at Stoneleigh the other week.

just went to the map to fins suppliers to get a new hive and most place holders promote a new website (http://plantsalive. webs. com/) obviously been 'hacked'... very disappointed what the point to do that obviously I would not want to buy form someone that does that! not trustworthy....

Wynn Jones are very good, purchased my honey jars from them for the last two years I collect in person when I'm up that way on business.
Very good service and nice people to talk to.
