Can't understand it at all! Just another geeky way of raising funds

 

[MuswellMetro]

well, one way of making you buy five crown boards instead of one, i suppose

though his thoughts seem to be more driven by LSD than £sd

 

[Suzi Q]

Wow, cutting edge nano technology as well; looks like plastic.

 

[Bates]

Already ordered 2000, offered 20 quid a unit too. Sold me because of the amount of injuries I get from my crownboards.

Discrimination against the colorblind !

 

[Russel]

Someone fell for it Completed listing they probably like manuka too?

Looks like just paint to me.

Still you know what they say about a fool and their money.

Its a shame really because that wasted money could have been used usefully for bees....

I think they look dam good, well made, colourful, as described, fit for purpose intended and made in the UK. It could have been a disaster if they listed them as crown boards. I still prefer to stick a colour drawing pin in the BB to identify queen year

It would be more colourful in the Apiary if we used roofs painted with the queen year colour code

 

[Queens59]

Beekeepers should be colour coded according to their Queens year...and if an assortment of years they should wear a rainbow suit!!

Knowing me I would get one or two roofs mixed up and ending up confused.com like always

A case of clever marketing for the naive, unwary or just plain stupid.

I put a different blob on the queen each year. If she gets all five, I mount her on a pin and keep her in a glass display box in the drawing room.
