> Twenty years ago I bought a bee escape which had a central hole of > about 1 1/4 inch diameter on the top and three radiating pathways on > the bottom. I have been unable to find a replacement. Does anyone > know a source of such an excellent tool? The only North American source I know of is F.W. Jones in Bedford Quebec. They call it the Quebec bee escape board. (RH-0915) It is well built and about $6 US last I checked. Phone 514-248-3323 I mention this on the list because it is a little known, but absolutely excellent tool. Regards Allen W.
