SANDY - WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING OUR OWN MOLDS FOR THE POLYSTYRENE
HIVES, HAVING VERY GOOD SUCCESS WITH THEM.  HOWEVER, WE DO NOT AT THIS POINT
HAVE ANY INTENTION TO DEVELOP A SHALLOW MOLD.  AFTER A YEAR OR TWO I SUSPECT
THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO MODIFY THE MEDIUM MOLD TO MAKE SHALLOWS.  WE USE A LOT
OF SHALLOWS OURSELVES - SO FOR THE TIME BEING WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE
SHALLOW WOODEN SUPERS ON TOP OF THE POLYSTYRENE HIVES.  SINCE THE MAIN BENEFIT
OF THE HIVES IS SPRING AND FALL - IT IS SOMEWHAT IRRELEVANT WHAT YOU USE FOR
SUPERS.  BOB
