Scott asks, "Why wouldn't 4 mesh (1/4") squares work?"

In addition to possible robbing problems, one would never be able to move a
hive, with the bottom board, as the bees could get through.  1/8 inch mesh
is available from Betterbee (800-632-3379) and perhaps some other suppliers.
If you have a good hardware store serving the farm community, they should
also have it or be able to tell you a place nearby.
