Step 2 - Putting cover boards onto supers
If you are not using the second set of supers simply place them on
top of the cover boards.
Add the cover board on top of the supers.
Step 3 - Adjusting the bungee cord
After adding a layer of supers you will need to loosen the lid bungee.
Pass one of the toggles through the hole in the centre of the lid.
Pull the bungee cord tight, then repeat at the other end. Now place
the lid gently on top of the supers and pull the cord over the knob.
Note: Adjusting the bungee cord for a second layer of supers
Pull the bungee cord tight, then repeat at the other end. Now place
the lid gently on top of the supers and pull the cord over the knob.
With a second layer of supers you can extend the bungee by feeding
the second toggle through the hole in the centre of the lid.
Using the clearer boards
Preparing the clearer boards
You should have a bee escape and clearer board base.
Align the bee escape up with the clearer board.
Slot the bee escape over the screw heads.
Then click the bee escape into place by pushing it forwards.
The clearer boards are designed to ‘clear’ bees from the supers to make it easier to collect the honey from them.
By removing the ‘diamond’ shaped bee escape, they can also be used to feed your bees in the spring and winter.
