Subject: Dadant full foundation sheets

Hello Everyone,

My typical American sized bees are drawing out full sheets of Dadant
small cell foundation without any transitional cell type problems. Maybe
the excellent cell wall definition in this foundation counter balances
any tendencies of the bees reverting to the larger cell size.

If this proves to be the experience of others, using full sheets of
Dadant foundation could bypass the use of starter strips or an
intermediate size foundation resulting in only one shakedown. In areas
with a short bee season, hives might be left in better condition to
survive a long winter.

Just my thoughts and limited experience with small cell foundation.
