Bee Liners:  Appropo this discussion, be sure to avoid the mistake I
made for years:  If you add lifting cleats to your supers, as I do,
don't make them so long that they cover the finger joint end grain.
This prevents renewing the sealant in subsequent years.  By the way,
I use marine spar varnish for this and for the horizontal edge
surfaces of contact between boxes which are slow to dry.  Is there
something better to use for this purpose?   Dan
