John is right. The photo processor centers usually have a box or a bag
full of the empty cannisters for the taking. I drill holes in the lids and
bottoms and use them as containers for baiting the walnut husk flies and
for keeping moth crystals in clothes bags.
However, they are relatively indestructable and hardly "environmentally
friendly." Perhaps they should be fastened to the bottom board and moved
with the hives.
