For Mr. Barrett in Dublin about his five-frame nuc setup.
So U R installing mouse guards?
I've n e v e r used them in 38 consecutive years of beekeeping
in Maryland (Baltimore metro area) USA. Our bottom boards have
two sides, a deep and a shallow. Despite what the books and people
say about ventilation and the collection of debris, etc., I've
always run mine with the s h a l l o w side up 12 months of
the year. That means
I don't have to buy MGs, install them, and then remove them later.
Of course, nor do I have mouse problems. (I assume Irish mice are
the same size as American? [smile])
Suum cuique?
Cheers from
Jack the Bman
