Anyone know where I can get an Eke for a Smith hive?

[tkwinston4]

Just been looking around on t'internet and cant seem to find an Eke for a Smith. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers.

hi m8
could you not make one to fit a smith, it would be a lot cheaper

My husband can, because that is what husbands are for! Are there any special requirements? i.e. depth.

You make it for the depth that is needed, so if it's for a rapid feeder, measure the depth of the feeder and add a bit of leeway. You could add it as a rim to a crown board to make it easier getting it square. (or oblong if a Smith hive is such.............)

What is the intended use for the eke ?

Just seen this on Ebay

If the link does not work, just copy and paste into your browser.

I need to get some Apiguard too, could this be modified to fit my Smith?

We are as one.................

Easier to buy a length of 18mm x 18mm from B & Q and do it yourself than to try and convert.
