Drone Bee
Reading my October issue of the BBKA rag there is reference to raising the crownboad of a National beehive using a solid floor with matchsticks to allow for ventilation, the matchstick size is imperative as this prevents the bees from using propolis to stick up the gaps.
I have had year 4 children measure a number of different boxes of safety matches this afternoon as an exercise in size distribution and using vernier guages, and there is up to 1mm difference within a box and up to 3mm between boxes!
What size matches should one use on the National hive, I presume matchsticks are not a requirement for WBC crownboards?
