Not porter.

I use rhombus, work for me.

Modified rhombus. Cut in half, on opposing corners, best results I've had.

I used rhombus on one hive and porter on another today. Both worked for the majority of bees, rhombus was best. I may be becoming converted!

Rhombus has worked for me, no need for cutting it about…

But I do have plenty space beneath the rhombus - an 'apiguard' eke has other uses than just Apiguard treatment!

Probably the one veg uses is defiantly the quickest but I use a rhombus in the middle (couldn't be bothered to cut them in half) but works in a few hours

Porter works, but is slow. Depends on the application, but I have found rhombus very good.
