[QUOTE="tristan, post: 1071, member: 30"] the problem i can see with using a feeder as an escape board is the size of the holes. most are generally to big which gives an easy route. most escape boards have small holes and usually some sort of method to prevent or discourage bees from going back up. there is only a few that are true one way escape boards. i took boxes off mine this morning. still had a few bees left in them. escape boards don't always work well when there is not much room below them. the other way i have done is to stack the boxes away from the hive, and put escape boards on top and bottom of the stack.
