CLearing board DIY

[beepig]

Hi i do not have a clearing board at present is there another way of clearing a super please.
I do have a board with a single cone in the middle, is this an old fasioned clearing board

The only other way is to brush each frame, which doesn't please them. Blow them out with a leaf blower which is far more expensive than a clearer board!( I have tried it but they cling on like mad! ) Or to buy a couple of cheap porter escapes, but there are better clearer boards available.

After brushing bees and have them follow you all the way back to your car you will be wishing you had spent £3.00 on a rhombus escape

I've just bought a garden vac / leaf blower from flea bay for £16 .... bargain and it works according to you tube. But at that price, its got to be worth a punt Enrico lol

I bought a £4 (incl post) rhombus escape ,## attached to a crownboard with hole and added extra height using cardboard gaffer taped to the sides.

Worked a treat .
Then removed rhombus and card.
