I cut strips and customize them to the individual area at the workface. Sometimes, instead of strips, I roll the screening into narrow cylinders, and wedge them into place. If I happen to see a female bee enter a gallery, I will treat the gallery while she's in there and continue with the screening process. Everything has to be checked at a later date, as the bees are quite robust and can possibly dislodge the screening or find another way in. You get better at it after a few houses.
Professional help is usually needed here, it can get dicey.
If you do call, ask for, or leave a message for John. Other times I'm often out on the road. However, you can ask the office about a time when I am expected to be in, so you can then call back. And if you do call, make sure the girls in the office know that you're not selling something - otherwise they'll tell you I'm not here even if I am. You can also contact us for your questions, either by E-mail or on our public Message Board .
