Folks,
Allow me to be naïve and somewhat ideal here, but if you happen to be a
manufacturer of polystyrene supers, not the old plastic that has proven
itself unworthy, please consider the following challenges:
1. Produce them cheaper than the current price. (I hear your guffaws)
2. Put in multi-colors so that they don’t need to be painted for good.
3. Consider utilizing fungus-resistant, or germ [spore]-killing
ingredient mixed in the polystyrene mix [this, I realize, could be
dangerous, strengthening the microbes in the long run, however
inadvertently].
4. Screened bottom board and mouse guard should come pre-installed.
5. Punch in upper vent holes as well in the manufacturing process.
6. Make them biodegradable. (How? I dung no)
7. Consider the breathability in the composition of the poly mix.
8. Make them expandable/assembleable sideways so that one can easily
expand the poly from a three-frame nuc box into three hundred-frame
producer, thus eliminating heavy lifting. (Yup, a wishful thinking)
9. Make the poly more durable that a few bumps would not dent the
structure.
10. Make them packable tightly for the migratory bees.
11. Add here some more points I slipped.
Finally, when you have made good money on these futuristic supers, how
about investing into a mobile irradiation chamber a sideliner can afford—
so that he/she can take the AFB-infected poly boxes inside and ZAP them in
no time? I am sticking my neck out here to say, on record, that such
super supers will be actualized in America before I quit.
Thanking and thinking all of you who chipped in your thoughts . . .
