important issues
- build Light
- velcro band
- queen excluder
- adapt the dimensions to the inner ones of your favorite NUC box so you can pour them in easilly
- 1 inch thick for the floor "frame" so you have an easy way-in for the girls when left diagonaly open, even in dense grass.

some argue that the swarm may re-form on the both sides of the net-windows , men could add some hiding stuff either in wood or paperboard
