I appreciate that everyone is probably about as torpid as their bees are at the moment ... sorry to disturb you from your slumbers.

I'm interested in trying to prepare some round sections this season. The hardware - super, plastic racks etc - is expensive and I don't want to commit to the wrong type.

Thorne's and Maisemore's appear to sell similar but different versions. There used to be a vendor in Dundee but the wesbite is now defunct.

Can anyone comment on the merits of otherwise (other than the price ) of either type, or point me in the direction of something better. I'm only interested in National-compatible equipment.

With many thanks
David
