[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 5171, member: 71"] Hmm.... so this is old gear is an issue, and it looks like this needs to be built into a review. I think there needs to be an allowance for reputeable beekeepers onselling. When I went into business I bought 60 empty nucs, two different designs that could be split into separate colonies, off Mervyn Cloake. Those nucs served me well, and a year ago they were onsold to two different outfits. They were really old nucs, but they had been built well, and preserved properly when built. It was great to get the specialised gear, of designs that were not available from beekeeping suppliers. I also made up another design of specialised wooden nucs myself with the help of ABH staff in their workshop, and have onsold these also. So, for me getting that second hand specialised gear saved a lot of time, stress, money, and gave me diversity to deal with different situations and practises. [/QUOTE]
