new hive

[The Drone Ranger]

Good point fatshark
I'm mulling over making some nucs and floors at the moment
It's good to see wood being recycled so well
Maybe I need to get down the local recycling depot and do some intercepts

I find Gumtree is a great source for most things. Much stuff does not sell well so you can offer peanuts after a couple of weeks. As it is local usually, no silly competition like on ebay..
How about a 2 year old Calcium Yuasa 12V car battery for £10? - new £44. (for vapourising oxalic)

or
2 off 2m x 1.2m 18mm ply
plus
2 off 2m x1.2m 50mm celotex insulation

all new
for £20.. (unsold for 3 weeks)

Car batteries can be got free from most garages, my local tested a bunch and found one still putting out 12.9v added a little distilled water and charged. 30 odd treatments so far and no sign of slowing down.

welcome bowplus.
I do like real cedar hives, however I have loads of nucs, roofs and some brood boxes made from free materials. Often it's skip diving. At work when we get a big skip in, they try to do it when I'm not in the office as I remove 1/2 the stuff they throw in and put it back where it came from!
