George:
I agree with everything you say. I have 36 colonys and use the hole
method for better accessability for the forigers. Because of skunk
problems I am thinking of removing the bottom entrance restrictor
completely and covering with hardware cloth for ventilation and
requiring all to leave above. Maybe a false 3/4" spacing from 2nd deep
to 3rd with a 3/8"slot cut out to resemble the bottom board would work.
I make all my own equipment and only use deeps. These skunks are smart.
Nail boards dont work and the have a heart trap i placed in front of one
troubled hive acts only as a ladder for the skunk to gain better reach.
I'm afraid its going to be a trap and a 22 for this fellow.
