If I ever try the escape boards, that’ll be the type I use. Seems like the guys I’ve seen that use that type have a bit better success over the triangles.

[@FernvalleyFarm]

Yea I like this type much more room to get out when I seen how they worked with ian s hives I liked it

[@BLachance75]

I use the triangular escapes at times. When I do use them I always put a new super under the escape to give the bee somewhere to go. I never thought of looking on ebay for the cones. I ordered some and will make a few of this style to see what works better.

cool there are easy to make im actually going to try fume boards this year to that video will be out soon thanks for watching 👊

I bought mine cones from Walter T. Kelly in Clarkson, Kentucky. I bought 30 of them so I can make 3 escapes. They were pretty cheap.

@@johnhale702 cool i never looked at a bee supply store

Thanks Vince, I started making a bee escape today. Wasn't sure what to make it out of or how to attach the funnels. Home Depot sells a 1 x 3 board that works pretty good and is cheaper than the 1 x 4's. I was thinking about using a 5/16" or 3/8" staple as well as using some gorilla glue. Even a 5/8" nail would probably hold it in place. I like the idea of using the aluminum screen wire instead of #8 hardware clothe. I was thinking about attaching a 3/8" x 3/8" or 1/2" x 1/2" nailer on the inside boards an 1/8" below the frame pieces to attach the screen to, so I wouldn't have to use a hive tool on a weaker piece of wood when you pry the box off. I understand your frustration about the computer hard drive crashing. I hate it when that happens. Again Thanks.

Nice, made your own cone escapes! Might build one this winter

Do you still use these or do you prefer the fume boards? Thanks

[@FernvalleyFarm]

Yea i switched to the fume board just easier then lifting all the supers
