    If you are suffering from jobbie deficiency disorder....the well known medical condition JDD......a regular portion of heather honey in the comb twice a day should alleviate the symptoms.

    I haven't read all the posts in this thread (60 pages).
    So, may I ask, could I use a Swienty Lang. BB with my Thornes Lang cedar supers?
    Would I also need a Swienty floor?

    If it's the same as for nationals, the answers are Yes and No. Floors, roofs and boxes interchangeable with wooden equipment.

    Is CWJ the only UK stockist?

    I bought from CWJ and don't know of other UK suppliers ... you could ask Swienty perhaps http://www.swienty.com/uk/contactus.asp?

    The only slight concern I have about the Swienty boxes I bought is the lack of a rebate on the bottom of the box to leave space over the frame lugs when you have a double brood. Do they get propolised together badly? Mine only went into the boxes a few weeks ago so won't go up to double brood until some time in the dim and distant future ...

    PS Solway Bee Supplies also sell 'em ...

    The swienty national poly hive roof has a rim on three sides which can be used as a floor for a vertical split.

    Paynes also sell them although marginally dearer than CWJ, however their free postage kicks in at a lower limit than the Welsh firm's so depending on items/order size there might be a small saving.
