> Bees can pass through a 6-mesh screen

As much as I hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague, Lloyd, I believe that
bees cannot get through 6 mesh hardware cloth.  That is why we use it folded as
entrance blocks sometimes for moving a hive and for covering our sticky boards
to prevent the bees from removing the mites that collect there.
