QR - Queen Retainer thingy (Aussie Bill)

[JonnyPicklechin]

Aussie Bill has been going on about some QR contraption or other that seems to be popular down under which fits over the hive entrance like an excluder box and traps any absconding swarms.

Maybe something like this:

Seems to fill most of us Brits with horror for all sorts of reasons. But would be interesting to hear Bill explain it and provide some links of his contraption, in his own inimitable style of course...

Over to you Bill.....

If you’re keen Tho*nes sell them for £55 a pop . But I wouldn’t spend too much time thinking about this particular contraption .

You're absolutely right PH. I see it on Thornes. Nothing to see here.

No... not even close.
I have posted images of the commercial product a number of times now.
Attached is an example, being our queen castle...another concept likely
to bring shock horror to some in the UK... yet (ironicly) proven (to myself)
to function admirably by one "Lil John", a Pom, no less.
The example is from testing directed by himself. The use of QRs in various
format is quite plain, allbeit bespoke in design and construction.

As an aside, a forum bidness matter?
Those ignorami(pl)seeking to control the flow of information would be
way better off taking a lesson from those who have tried it on already with
myself. Thankfully the Administration here is a bluudy sight smarter than
those few grant credit for.
Leave yer regressed willys in the jocks... is enuff said.
....jes sayin' like.
