[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 10160, member: 5"] Agree, although Tristans points are valid too. One one side of the pallet means you work the hive from that side, from the ground. If you need to go to the other side, you can step up onto the pallet and you have more foot space. It also means there is now room for that second hive you didn't realise was coming :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: The advantage of the pallet, IMO is it takes longer for the grass to grow so long it makes the entrance hard to locate, but more importantly, its a little further off the ground for warmth and reduced moisture. FWIW, I have mainly solid wood floors and reduce the entrances in winter. Moisture is the winter enemy, and that is vastly reduced by a little insulation on the top. [/QUOTE]
