What a cheering photo.
No Cherry here yet.
Bees out for a poo though

One last question about the Dartington floors. Are the frames arranged hot or cold?
Thanks.

My Dart inspired floors have removable landing boardsBuilding some more OMFs is on my list of things to do in the next couple of months and these look interesting so I may well try them out.
I'd be tempted to make the landing board removable for transportation. I'd also be tempted to create a bee space or two (even for bottom bee space hives) above the mesh to allow debris to build up over winter without touching the frames. Perhaps I'll try some with and some without to see if it makes a difference.

apply a thick coating of varnish and whilst wet , to sprinkle lavishly with oven dried sand . No more bees stuck upside down in beaded water

This bit of kit is going through some serious R&D on this forum, maybe we should contact Mons Ab with a view to a partnership - if he thinks our amateurish bodging won't mar his high standards
Interesting thought JBM - I was considering a "Value" range for those unable to afford the premium stuff.
nice to see that you have got your hive back up. I only live a mile up the road and I didnt have that many bees out on my hive!,,
