Dear Joe,
At the local co-op and sometimes at wall-mart I've seen small stryfoam
coolers with lids that cost around 3 dollars and seem exellent mating hives
to me. They have a ridge inside that would allow attachment of (self made)
frame-spacers or bars to hold self-spacing frames.
However...they smell intensily like styrofoam. If this smell can't be washed
out it might be a problem.
cheers,
Lennard
