I'm wondering about the hive entrance size I built my langstroth hives to spec off of plans here, with a 3/8 gap between the bottom board and the hive body, however, i noticed that my friends commercially purchased hives have a ¾ entrance gap with a ¾ reducer The ¾ reducer does have. I saw a fat bee man video where he used boric acid, crisco, and election signs to build shb bait traps
I was unable to find straight boric acid at lowes and picked up some hot shot maxattrax roach killing powder with boric acid Did a little research and found conflicting information Looking for an easy sugar brick recipe I tried searching the archives but didnt have much luck If i remember there was one that was 5 or 10 lbs of sugar and a small amount of water, put it on a cookie sheet and let it dry.
