@raphadue not really - often when they make new comb on a bar they stick it to the sides (window or not) and I need to cut it off, but once done they tend to leave it as is.
The windows aren't any better or worse that the wooden hive walls

I get asked a lot about what #CaveCrickets eat given they're scavengers in (at first glance) barren #caves. When in a bind they can eat basically anything: other insects, their own legs, bacteria. You can see why some wander outside: gourmet mushrooms! #entomology #rhaphidophoridae

@raphadue I love the long windows. First hive had 2 small windows originally, but I've retrofitted the long one this winter

@raphadue yes, correct. Bottom board opens for ventilation and can be used for Varroa drop counts. Stainless steel mesh above

@stealthysail mainly rats, possums, but also stoats and mustelids. We've got a hard working community
