Thanks Eric,

Good to hear of more success. How far north are you? What size comb did you start with? Here in England loads of beekeepers have been using 5.7mm for years, and my bees pull down to about 5.2 if no foundation is given. Did
your 4.9 foundation have sidewall stubs? Did you use any drugs in your hives
this year?

I feel like a nagging mother sometimes: question question question, but I always give answers to those I can in my turn...your time is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John
