Hello Everyone,

Obtaining patents for bee equipment has a sad history. Almost no one that
has gone that route has made much money. It seems a sure way to ensure
the death of the product.

Patenting the screened bottom board reminds me of a time when a computer
company thought they owned the number "2" expecially if it was blue. They
didn't make much money on the issue but probably spent plenty. :>)
