Barry,  I have a severe drought out here.  Sold bottom board and large opening equals robbed out hive.  I've tried it. Ended up with my 2nd hive dead. Even with robber screen it is just too hard to keep hive secure.

I have tried the theory and failed.  Not a matter of spilled honey if everything in the apiary is half starved.

Just got in from cleaning off my screen bottom boards, it's almost 10pm. Two oxalic treatments and well over a 1,000 mite kill with three hives. Doing the third treatment tomorrow. I love my screen bottom boards  :)  No Guessing!
