Don't use Bee Equipment
Bought a brood box, but it actually wasn't in stock. 2 weeks later still no sign. Requested refund, but they only gave a partial refund. Had to use PayPal resolution centre to get everything back.
My advice would be not to do business with this company!
It's just taken them the short period of 8 months to enter a reply to my review above.
Think that proves something doesn't it?

Hello, sorry you had issues with your order. I can see that you were refunded in full.
Let down by the delivery company
The Bee Equipment company supplies great products at fantastic prices. My only gripe is the delivery company. My recent order was delivered by the Post Office. Having been advised they were delivering my order on Friday, it was the following Wednesday before it was. My previous order was split up by the couriers and delivered days apart.

I was disappointed with the quality of the wood and surprised there were no instructions on how to assemble the brood box. Also disappointed that the slider bars were not included, or nails. I think this product is way too expensive for what it is.

Orded some 12 x 14 foundation when turned up they were cracked, so they are going to replace them at the end of May, I just hope they turn up, other than that it's all been good.
