Winter Sales

[Rob H]

Hi all, I recently missed out on buying a whole stack of seconds frames in the recent Maisemore Sale because I was faffing around too much with my order and didn't realise its end date! Can anyone advise when they normally hold their Winter sale please? Thanks

It varies but there's usually one well before you will need them

they may do a mail order one around the time of the Stoneleigh 'British' Beekeeping show early February as Thornes and Maisies don't plan on attending, but maybe not a they will be attending the proper beekeeping trade show at Telford on the 25th of the same month.
I think you can bank on there being mail order sales during the BBKA spring convention and the WBKA one though.

Ive been really good lately and not fallen foul of "the sales" like I used to.
Ill get a roof tin when I buy foundation this spring but other than that Ive finally seemed to have convinced myself I dont need any more stuff.
For now.

Same here, to be honest I looked at the last round of sales and didn’t think there was that much savings to be made. Went through all my kit and still have a few 100 frames to make up from last season and as I now have a lot of plastic foundation don’t need much of that either. Some more buckets & a couple 1000 jars would be nice though
