Plastic Cone Escapes

Does anyone know who makes plastic cone escapes. I emailed a supplier in the UK and they do not have any and are sourcing another alternative. Thanks!

I purchases some a fews years ago from Mann Lake, but checking theirs and Dadant's website neither of them have them. How many do you need?

Check out Dave-Cushman's site to learn how to make them out of screen. I use this method when I screen up a hive for moving. I make little cones going into the hive so the field bees can be captured.

Screen cones are the only ones that work in my honey house.

Agree, no luck with the plastic escapes. Have several escape boards with the plastic cones and they don't work at all.
