Thanks Steve,

Never saw that method before. Doesn't look too difficult. I'll figure all that out if the hives my friend and I are starting in the next week or two survive our winter.

Good luck getting the swarm down. Know anyone with a set of spikes that can climb for you? grin

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
