I was just wondering what other members use as wedges or methods they have for restacking boxes.
I have just got some window wedges but I have not got round to trying them yet.
At the moment I tend to put the box on at 45 degrees and slowly push it round but everything tends to move out of kilter so you have to keep wriggling back and forth until its all lined up taking care not to put your hands on displaced bees.
Even doing this operation I tend not to smoke the bees I have got at the moment as it seems to upset them more it depends how many have risen to the sides of the box.
