Thanks for the update and indeed for all your videos.
My pleasure!!
Hi Stewart. Very interesting video. Is the idea that the capped sections are sold with the wooden surround or do you remove the wooden surround and reuse it? Thanks.
Hi John,
Yes, they are sold with the wooden surround. I've yet to find a really attractive container for them but I think for hobbyists, they make great gifts for friends and family.

Your sections look great it is difficult for the bees to fill right out to the edge ross round sections fill right out but these will look good when fitted in the cases .
Hi Lexie,
Yes, it seems the bees really don't/won't/can't build the comb to the very edge of the basic wooden square, but I don't think it detracts from it as they've done such a great job overall. I do need to find a decent container for them as the ones I have are really not great!

@@TheNorfolkHoneyCo next time you make up section frames rub the inside of the sections with beeswax and put water on outside of bends with a small paint brush to bend them this helps the bees to fill sections right out
What's the other side like? Sections should do well on the heather. My hives in North Wales had sealed heather honey on 1st August, working from my home apiary a mile from the ling heather.
Hi Peter,
Both sides are the same, fully capped and looking very nice. I do hope the weather improves for the heather, we're taking our bees to the North York moors and this week looks rather wet and cold. Good luck with your heather crop this year.
