Hi, I'm still on a steep learning curve and this year thought I'd use the Adapta stand so that I didn't have to dismantle the whole hive to clean out in Spring. (I am still wary about fact that the more I move boxes around, the more chance I have of killing the queen!). I wanted to add the correx mite board for checking mite drop (already aware that it has to be done from the front!) but I couldn't even get the floor out. It seems the weight of the brood and super etc on top of the entrance, prohibited me from getting any further. I shall have to dismantle after all it seems.
Has anyone else had this problem or is my entrance a bad fit? I have written to Thorne to make my irritation known. Naturally, in the video, the guy has an empty brood box only on top. Any comments would be very welcome.
