Fume board using 80% Isopropyl Alcohol, 10% Benzaldehyde and 10% Tea Tree Oil clears a super in 5 - 10 mins...
I use this which works over night.

Is this just that the spring gaps need adjusting,
I am no expert on the matter.. the first time i set my eyes on those silly thing's it set a ball rolling in my head.. needless to say i do not own a single one.. pure dog cack imo..
They look the part when you buy a new flat pack hive and everything fits together like that but they are cack.
Yes - hit them hard three or four times with a lump hammer - if they still don't work, buy or something decent like a rhombus escape
You must love woodworking....
....so why do Thrones insist on including with a flat pack pack? Just because they are cheap?
How well does it work if you need to clear 3 or 4 supers on one hive? Do you need to take 10 minutes on each super? Or are all 3/4 cleared in the 10 minutes?
I would go for a rhombus or a figure of 8 escape. Both work well and no moving parts....except the bees.
thanks BF
was trying to figure out how the rhombus attaches to the crown board...it goes underneath it!
