Thank you for a helpful reply. What follows below is not for you or those who offered advice on the problem. It’s here because I cant find anywhere else to put it.
I said the beehive was put on a shed roof and the missing frames not inserted. It came to my apiary for most of last winter and...

if I have to go away I...
Primary schools do not normally have the expertise or equipment to do woodwork.
I make all my own equipment except excluders, mesh floors and foundation so I understand exactly what is involved.
I am not the originator of this project. As I said, I was asked about making equipment but I don't...
