Title: entrance size
Post by: suncoast on June 29, 2010, 12:57:58 PM
Hello everyone,
I am getting so many calls for trap outs I have cut up some hive boxes to make four & three frame nuc but, I would like to get an idea what size entrance everyone recommends. 

Thanks

A one inch hole works fine.

Do you mean trap out, or are you talking swarm traps? They each use different size entrances.
