the middle of the plywood, lightly nail this to the bottom of a hive body, add frames
and a cover. Cut the log top...

That's about 80 hive beetles. I did smash them with a hive tool, got most of them.
It does keep them out of the hive.

I use Grooved Top-Grooved Bottom for plastic foundation. Its faster and
I am moving to plastic due to the labor savings. I prefer wax foundation but
it just takes too much time.

Got rid of telescoping covers and switched to migratory covers.
SHB love the crack between the lip of the cover and the hive body.
I am making new covers that are flat with no outer rim for the SHB...
