Morris Board.

Been reading the the thread about the Morris Board method posted in March. I wondered if anyone had used it this year with any success.

Morris clip invented by Chris Morris (Around 1975 I think). A plastic clip that goes on a standard frame making it a hoffman frame.

I use them in my supers as I have them with the metal constellation and with out.

Did you use this system Oliver and did it work for you and no (by the way) I didn't change my mind that I know of.

Morris clips was the original name given to the plastic clips(now called Hoffman Clips) that convert the normal straight sided frames ( DN1 or SN1) into Hoffman Frames configeration.
They were invented by me in 1975 and I hold the Patent for them.
They were originally invented by me when in a lesson at Hampshire College of Ag whilst we were discussing the merits of frame spacings.
There were different types/sizes (colour coded) giving different widths.
They were originally made to fit on the side bars, now there are also ones that fit over the topbar and fit down the side bar.
Hope this explanation helps. I still sell them on my web site morris-beekeeping.co.uk
