one bee from two hives?

"If it is dead, it is dead. It does not wake up with listening." well said!!!!

as per others - rolled fondant on top bars inside a shallow eke (useful to make a solid CB with the necessary high raised rim on one side for use with fondant or apiguard). insulation on top or in roof. deep 8" roof with heavy ply sides - example here on a poly nuc. and all strapped down.

"I don't see how that response to a potential customer was in any way a good one" but you weren't a potential customer unless you were happy to pay more.

how about golf ball in a sock/stocking? dual purpose - both violent and creative (scottish method for dusting cakes for those who don't watch bake-off).

with a few bits of strip wood to make a shallow eke the abelo LS polys happily take more national frames warm way than a proper national (13 IIRC).

JBG - how do you think the southern european beekeeping industry has survived all these years?

they won't be what doctors use - all have to be nitrile nowadays due to latex allergies.
