I'm about to 'Apiguard' my hives and currently they are on open mesh floors with 'one bee width' entrances due to major league wasp problems and all holes in the crown boards are closed up as I have rapid feeders in use currently.
If I add a shallow (5cm) eke, place the Apiguard tray directly on to the top of the brood frames and then replace the wooden inserts in the floors then the ventilation is going to be next to zero.
I get the distinct impression that this might be a very bad thing!
Any ideas?
