    I got mine from eBay for just a few quid last year. Interesting, but I haven't yet arrived at any great theories to explain all the sounds you can hear. I know a physicist with a big curiosity about bees who would like to analyse the noises. For example the 'dorso-ventral abdominal vibration signal' might be detectable, and that is usually a 'get lively' message.

    Hi Judith,
    Just a word of caution.
    Leaving the v floor in may cause a build up of debris and allow v back up into the hive, it could produce fungus, encourage 'things' you don't want, it would in all probablity retain unwanted moisture too. My bees came through the winter in Stirlingshire with an omf alone and a wooden restricted hive entrance, no mouse guard.
    Regards
