The cloth under the quilt box ...Reply to Abonymous:<br />The cloth under the quilt box is to keep the quilt filling in place. <br /><br />In his book Warre suggests that you stick a hessian cloth on top of the top bee box - page 42 of the 12th edition translated by Pat Chetney & David Heaf 7/2007 even shows an illustration. This cloth needs to be painted with flour/water paste. As well as stifening this cloth the starch in the paste stops the bees from chewing the cloth - in effect a bee barrier.<br /><br />It is only stuck on with flour/water so is easily peeled off and reinserted above the new top box when you rotate the boxes.<br /><br />RobinYABeePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413137562556284527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818083065326199225.post-19901720264927878002009-07-01T12:14:01.887+01:002009-07-01T12:14:01.887+01:00Interesting.

The plans I saw* didn't mention the second cloth - the one on top of the box - only the one making up the bottom of the quilt.<br /><br />If you paste the cloth to the top of the top box, how do you cope with the rotation of boxes? When you take the top box off to harvest, do you have to peel it off and refasten it to the box that's now on top?<br /><br /><br />*Emile_Warre_Technische_Zeichnungen_engl.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
