>Have any of you tried these covers?

I have two in my cell building yard sent to me as a sample. 

I think they're too flimsy. I placed a medium and deep full of honey on an upside down cover, and the rim started to collaps. When I put one on an empty hive body, to be used as a step up to tall hives, the cover feels like it won't bear my weight. I can't imagine using one to bang bees out of a super.

Wood is Good
