Hi Melissa, thank you so much for this review β what a great rundown of ways to use the 3-In-1 Super Shimβ’. We love that it gave your Norroaβ’ pouches exactly the clearance they needed, and that the girls left the vent sections alone. Norroaβ’ is catching on fast with beekeepers, and since those pouches call for about a half inch of space above the frames, the Super Shim is a natural pairing.
Gulf coast heat in late summer is no joke, so we're glad the ventilation segments are moving air without opening the door to robbers. And using the vent holes with 3D-printed plugs as emergency escape hatches ahead of storm surge is a genuinely clever idea β that's a new one for us, and we may have to share it with other coastal beekeepers.
Thanks for the kind words on the assembly and build quality. Stay safe out there this hurricane season, and happy beekeeping.
