I like to keep an empty match box handy in case I
want to temporarily cage the queen.  It's a handy
item to keep the queen out of harm's way during
drastic hive manipulations.

And of course I try to always have a roll of duct
tape on hand.  Number 7 on the top ten list of
things you'll never heard said in the south:
"Duct tape'll never fix that!"
