John asks why not just put a 1/8" screen on the bottom of the hive instead
of having a separate piece of equipment:
1. Would not be able to reverse hive bodies
2. Would have less flexibility in interchanging equipment

Otherwise, would work just fine.  However, I would use 3/8" mesh, instead of
1/4" for the entrance area.  I've never found a mouse that can get through
3/8" and bees go through 1/4" very slowly.
