They look very nice...But i have already built my own long hive.
Did you Know that scaffold boards with a 10mm shim of wood for retaining the frame lugs are the perfect depth for National frames. and at £8 each from my local reclamation yard i will never be buying hive components other than foundation again.
I'm all for people trying to make a better be hive but its a bit like building a better mousetrap. You might make a fortune or more likely some one in the far east will copy your design and everyone will still complain about the price.
eg FLOWHIVE. lol heck even the knock of frames are over a £150 a set.
I will see how i make out with my long hive before i rush into producing it on a commercial basis.
I would be interested to know what people thing of the viability of such a product and what Starting price they would aim for,
