One good use for duct tape...Closing holes in supers. Bees usually will 
refuse to place honey near any large cracks or holes in the corners of 
supers. It doesn't matter so much with extracted honey, except that the 
super won't be completely full. With comb honey, it really matters. If the 
combs aren't finished, they can't be sold as comb.

Also, if you use Formic of Oxalic vapors to control varroa, holes in the 
bee boxes will lower the efficacy of your treatments.
