Okay, so, I got a 2015 Dadant catalog a few days ago.  Those of you that have one, check the top of page 25.  For those that don't I'll TELL you what's there.  You got it! A "Moving Robber Screen"!  It has a couple entrances that can be closed off with what appears to be a small piece of tin and a nail so you can swivel the "doors" open and closed.  Other than the doors it appears to be the iddee screen the idea of which we are all stealing, er, I mean, emulating.  I can't tell but I don't see Lazy's addition of little feet to slide into the entrance to avoid nailing or screwing it to the hive.  But, you can have this little beauty for only, wait for it, $16.25!!!  I think Scott and I figured we could make them for a buck a piece, and heck, that might be a little high.  Ted

I saw a couple over at Dadants. They changed them enough to get out of a lawsuit.
I still like his design with the whole top open. No need for doors on bottom. Those just confuse the bees every time you open and close them.
Sometimes, simple is just better.
