Hi Glenn & all

If I wanted to do this I would nail a piece of thin plywood over it.

The only paper I have seen that was not chewed to pieces was a piece of a
colour illustration in a newspaper (a crimson coloured ladies dress) that
was nibbled right up to the edges of the patch of colour. Size was about 60
mm x 60 mm, but they dragged it about 600 mm in front of the hive.
