I've been on the equipment trail too: went up to Maisemore this morning and bought some nice new flat-pack cedar boxes (supers and 14x12s) and frames. Spent a pleasant afternoon putting them together in the sunshine, inhaling the nice clean cedar smell. Splashed out on a polycarbonate "quilt" crownboard (for showing busy bees to keen neighbours without disturbing either of them too much!). Home-made a new roof from scrap wood, planning a new hive soon. Bees VERY busy and both hives looking rather full. Play queen-cup building on one frame, but not advanced yet. Need to watch the little minxes though...
