Clearly a ready market for top ventilation ... I'm going to have a word with JBM and see if he will give me a hand to cut some holes to sell on ebay - better than these from Thornes - you can have ours in any size you like - they will fit any crownboard or any type of hive .. all you need is a saw or hole cutter to insert the holes into - can be delivered electronically to save on the postage... here is my prototype in progress... Does not include the cut out piece - just the hole. Price - only 25p each ... paypal accepted.

I'll have three please. How much is P&P?

;)
 
What with hacking these days...I would insist on having them sent in an envelope...more tangible and no chance of theft. Just make sure you get the real thing...not Chinese knockoffs.
 
I could buy one of those new-fangled 3-D printers and make my own holes.
It's not only Chinese who can do knock-offs, you know.

holes in a box that leaks a lot of heat (high conductance) are not straight forward

Do you want the common or garden ones or the new holistic ones which are much better for the bees ?

Of course the organic, natural, holistic ones are a little more expensive - 50p each but can also be sent over the internet to save the P & P charges.

I'm also considering selling solid holes as I will have a lot of centres left after the manufacture of the whole holes ...

Not withstanding the Venturi effect of air passing from a high to low pressure vessel......hole size dependent?

Thanks to heaven, my holes do leak fluid

You have out there +10C and I have -10C.

Oooo....me wanty me wanty....solid leaking holes.....can I have six please...and can you do perforated ones for my nuc? ...and do you do PayPal....
 
I heard somewhere that there were four thousand retro holes in Blackburn ; probably still stored in someone's shed. Maybe they'll come up on ebuy one day?..

I heard on the grapevine that there is going to be an accessory made for this - it's a circular piece of plastic that fits over the mesh section to close up the hole - for those that don't want top ventilation in their hives.

if I were you I would only buy these holes of Pargyle face to face. you need to be certain they are of sufficient quality before parting with your hard earned.

I resemble that remark - my holes are all of top quality and hand made, they contain no foreign bodies or contaminants and are exceptionally eco-friendly !

I personally myself will only be using local black Cornish holes!

Just meaning that counterfeiters may intercept your genuine holes en-route and swap with counterfeits like Vietnamese Chinese American honey that the BBKA fills half its rag with each month. Have you sold many e-holes to a-holes yet?

I have enough holes already.. in my wallet, head and hair..
Thanks for the offers .. all donations over £5,000 welcome (to save admin charges).
 
I can't wait to get my eco friendly, non contaminant, hand-made, purified and smoothly rounded holes. I'm not keen on black but would love pink...if you can manage it...after all they are all girls.
Can you please include a detailed diagram and instructions for installation?
 
If you go to Buckfast Abbey - or fast buck Abbey as it is known locally - you could buy wholly holy holes and they would not charge you more than £10 each, I'm sure.

Oh No...I couldn't buy those ...my bees are atheists....they wouldn't want any Holier than Thou holes in their hive.
