First let me say that I am not a Bee Keeper, just a want to bee!  <Grin>  I     
have been following the list with great interest.  I feal that I MIGHT          
finally have something meaningfull to add.  How would the boxes for wooden      
matches work?  The ones that I have are 2" X 1.5" X .5" and are made of         
cardboard.  A coat of clearcoat water seal would make them stand up better to   
the elements.
