Bee-listers: Is there an 8 frame spacing tool available? I would like to try the suggestion from this list of using 8 frame supers rather than excluders as a honey barrier. ********** Added Note: Today was an interesting day in my life. I was treating a fellow beekeeper in my office (back problem from lifting one too many honey supers) when a call came in from another patient telling me that some city workers were going to hose a swarm with soapy water. :( Grabbing our bee grear and my favorite swarm capture box, a copier box, my patient and I jumped into our trucks and headed downtown. Arrived at scene to find a nice swarm 15 feet up in a magnolia tree. The city workers kindly parked the soap water truck so we could use it as a ladder to stand on top and shake the bees into the box. No sooner than 10 minutes had passed when the local TV station camera crew arrived. End result: Tonight's 6:00 PM news showed a well edited segment entitled "Bee Swarm", beekeeping got some good press and my patient got a nice swarm of bees. :) Paul Cronshaw DC Cyberchiro Hobby Beekeeper Santa Barbara, CA
