Dude, the problem with ratel-proof hives is that they have to be other-beastie proof, too. Depending on location, we have big critters wandering around here in Africa. The results of a Cape buffalo scratching his arse on a hive are threefold: hive goes south, bees meet beest (whose hide is not really that thick), and then it ALL goes to hell, no handbasket needed. You can swap Cape buffalo with anything from a Bonsmara beef cow all the way up to an elephant. End result of big critter meets hive: the skep is scrapped, the bees bugger off, and the ratel-proof hive designers are once again staring at a blank drawing board.

Welcome to Africa? *grin*
