Elevated hive entrance tube thing ?

[greengumbo]

An elevated entrance with a long run to the hive makes life difficult for the undertaker bees
The shorter the entrance tube length the better
Karl Showler's book on observation hives discusses the merits of various set ups of entrances
it might be a worthwhile read

I believe Phil McAnespie built Ayr BKA's magnificently practical screened surround, he'd be worth
contacting for advice

I'll drop Phil a phone. Do you know if there are any photos doing the rounds of the Ayr BKA entrance ?
