For all the folks who like to take bees out of buildings and need a
bee escape you might be interested one we sell. It's really made for
the roofs of WBC hives in the UK.
        It's a cone of black plastic with slots cut into the side of the
cone and a small hole in the top of the cone. It will allow bees out,
but they seem incapable of finding the small exit hole to get back
in.
        If anyone wants info, please take it off list.
