Clearer boards made cheap.

[Alan and Anthea]

My husband has made me a couple of boards with a 2" space below ready to use as clearer boards. I just need to add the clearer bits.

Do most folks use the rhombus clearers rather than the canadian cones. Has anyone tried the circular disc 'thingy' as sold by T's?

Hi
We use homemade 2inch deep boards with 5 canadian cone escapes fitted on each. They cleared the supers on each hive after 3 hours; the majority of the bees were clustered on the underside of the clearer board. Made things much easier.

Hi Polyhive. I am wondering if you still have the photos for these. I vaguely remember what they looked like when originally posted but never got around to building a few myself. Thank you
