I came across this method when searching the archives. It seems like a
very good idea, especially since I don't have to worry about whether the
gallon jar/container I found was going to fit in a deep body without
bumping up against the cover.

But, I haven't seen any discussion of it here or in
sci.agriculture.beekeeping for several years. Is it still a recommended
method, or did I miss someone's post which debunked the whole idea?
