I have 5 colonies on wholly 4.9 mm frames well built. Strong nice colonies. Will probably come out of winter in fine condition. we'll se later on. Another 5 on half the frames on 4.9. 20 colonies has got 4 drawn by other
colonies at wintering. I have a total of 100. This is the first year with 4.9. 60% of the 4.9 I put on this year I had to remelt due to bad drawn comb. Next year will be better.
