As for the thin plastic crown board, putting that on with one hand should be an Olympic sport

Weather not good for beekeeping at the moment Gavin especially the queen rearing
Sun on way this afternoon though
Always is the word. I had to smile at your words. You'd imagine laying on a sheet of thin perspex or acrylic would be a simple matter but it takes me several tries to get it right. Maybe if it was a tad wider (with corners rounded to ensure the roof went on easily) it wouldn't fall in so often. Hardly a big issue but I've got bees in more than 50 of them at the moment.
Yes, queen mating is slow. Had quite a few failures earlier but now most seem to be finding short windows in the cool weather eventually.
