The discussion about screened bottom boards has been very interesting and I'd like to try them next season. Does anyone have a good design?
What guage screen?
What is the size of the entrance?
Does everyone leave them on all year year no matter the climate or do you put standard bottom boards on during the winter?
If you leave them on throughout the winter, how high off the ground should the hive be? Should you shelter the space from the hive to the ground?
