Maisemore Jumbo Feeder

"surely your edging strips are on the underneath side of your crownboard."

they would be if one made them oneself out of 9mm ply and 9x21mm strip timber BUT commercial ones (eg from TH*rnes) have their ply sat in a channel in the frame meaning the boards are two sided.

BTW - just received my MMJFs (from Payn*s as P&P cheaper). The bracing looks sturdy enough for any situation described.

Thanks, you live and learn!

The one I bought commercially was also one sided so I had presumed that they were all like this and so made mine in the same way albeit with hole in different places and even some without holes!

I have one of these that I bought last year. It worked fine then. This year when I used it, the bees just drowned in the syrup. After successfully exterminated about 200 I abandoned it and haven't used it since.
