Can someone help me regarding space on the clear crown boards i am in the process of making up and possibly only for winter use.
I have several 4" wooden ekes to fit my polly national hives and a quantity of 5mm perspex to fit . My main reason is for winter to keep an eye on whats happening with the bees .I keep reading about turning the eke over to the deeper side if fondant is needed and i understand that .But if the space that is meant for a block of Kingspan is upside down and the 10/8 mm beespace is on top where does the insulation go ? Or does it not matter how deep the spaces are in winter. Hope i have explained this right. Thank you
