Abstract: A beehive pest control assembly includes a hive box that has a perimeter wall with an upper edge defining an opening extending into the hive box. A cover has a size to be positioned on the upper edge and cover the opening such that the opening is closed. The cover has a top wall and a perimeter edge. The cover is translucent and is colored red such that only red light is transmitted into the hive box when light is transmitted through the top wall and into the hive box. The red light disturbs unwanted insects and causes these insects to leave the hive box.

Abstract: A clamp assembly secures a first article to a second article. The clamp assembly includes first and second spaced-apart article holders adapted for engaging respective first and second articles. An elongated gear rack interconnects the first and second article holders. A pinion operatively engages the gear rack, and is adapted for moving the first article holder along the gear rack relative to the second article holder. A locking bar has a plurality of spaced teeth adapted for meshing with respective teeth of the gear rack in a locked position. The locking bar is moveable between the locked position and a released position. In the locked position, the meshing teeth of the locking bar and gear rack cooperate to prevent linear movement of the first article holder relative to the second article holder, thereby securing the first article to the second article.
