For example, take a slatted rack which has the slats running front to back.
Rip the band board on a table saw leaving 5/32 inch lip above and below the
slats. Notch out an opening on the front for a bee door. After adding this
between the supers, you will have between 1/4" to 3/8" ( or roughly 5/16")
between the slats and the frames, which allows for proper bee space. This
modification allows for use with supers containing foundation. I used the
slatted rack as an example because it is easy to invision. My model has the
slats running straight through, front to back. This is the third year I have
been using my own shims and the bees build way less less burr comb on it
than the queen excluder. Anyone want to place an order?
