Worth sticking a block of fondant on top?

Made up a floor and stupidly did not do some checks before i finished it. On putting a box on top ive got a bit of a wonk in one corner where there is a gap. Its probably around 3mm. (See attached picture) I know ideally none is best but how much is too much?

UPDATE: ive built a few extra bits so now have a rough idea of how much my hive weighs. I reckon its about 17.5kg give or take. (For boxes, frames and foundation) The hive weighs around 28kg at the moment. So bees + stores are roughly 10kg (double brood) Im thinking thats probably OK?

Im in my first winter, checked on the bees and they are alive... So all is good so far. The hive is a double brood abelo poly with 11 frames in each, deep poly roof with a wooden floor and wooden multipurpose crownboard. I weighed the hive (luggage scale on both sides added together). Hive...

Yep, BIAS is there. Apiguard treatment was completed 2 weeks ago. As for forage, to be honest I don't know, they were active yesterday that much was clear (how can i tell?) In a Single box how many frames of stores should they have? Yep they are treated and I'm currently feeding Invertbee and...

In my first year of beekeeping and have had my hive on double brood national (poly). Colony is going ok i think. They currently have 10-13 frames with something on either brood or stores with the rest drawn but empty. The bees are taking the space and there are lots of bees but by no means...

Im after a couple of childrens bee suits. Just started and my girls are really interested and i'd love to keep it that way. Aftet childrens M or L i think. Cam collect close to Bristol or posted please!

I PMed about the broods, but heard nothing back?

was looking to check it out but Android app hasn't seen an update in 2 years and isn't compatible with the latest Android or so it would seem..

Sounds great, im more than handy enough to produce a a floor and CB from plans, i like the idea of the polycarb board to see! Thanks for this! Do you rebate the polycarbonate in place or do you just screw it onto the frame?

Yea ive been able to get into the beea a few times, picked up a STB pro suit as i thought that probably gives be decent bang for buck and from the little experience i have, im pretty happy with it! Im up in north somerset. Currently trying to sus out a hive location but want to be preped to get...

I'm currently trying to get my first hive sorted and would rather start on some solid footing than ditch bits and buy more later (I know this may be some short-lived dream!) I'm also on a bit of a budget but still want to start decently. I've done a load of reading and looking about at bits...
