Bees under OMF (Thorne's Budget floors!)

[einsteinagogo]

If you have OMF and are doing a major operation
E.g. AS
Housing a swarm etc
put a sheet of black correx under the hive and cover the floor varroa tray gap .

After a few days you can remove it.

Thanks, I always hive swarms on solid floors! later I change them over to OMF.

But thanks for the tip, off to google black correx!

Use the same stuff for shb traps, if it ever gets here. Much cheaper than the thin strips Thornes sell.
