Hi Aaron:

I thought I would try posting a jpg to the Bee-Line. It is a small device I 
am trying this year for wintering. I use supers with 1'' holes bored in them 
about 3" up from the bottom. In our savage winters, the wind can blow 
directly into the hole, chilling the bees and brood. The thing is a small 
rectangle of plywood with a rim on three sides. The L-bolt goes through the 
1'' augur hole and when tightened pulls the rectangle over the hole and puts 
the entrance down and about 6'' lower, thus baffling the wind. We will see 
how well it works in the spring!

                                    Best regards
