[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 13135, member: 13"] This is what I am using now, better than anything else I have used. Gets the great majority of bees out in 24 hours but to really get nearly all out you need 48 hours, as with any other escape board. And also as with any other escape board you need room under the board for the bees to go into. On a pumping strong hive with a choca brood nest you will not get them all out, with any board. Two cons with this board, the bees can build comb in the space under the board, and they can also plug the little escape holes. Surprising how much work a strong hive can do on the board even in 24 hours. But just cast your eye over the escape holes after each use to ensure they are still open and you are good.
