Hi folks !
Question.
We talked about the cell size question as it appears in worker brood
cells. I am still at odds with it although Dee relayed that 49 m/m
should be the total length of 10 cells, that will make the individual
cell smaller than 4.9 m/m. But this is not the original description of
this method of measuring as it was explained in a sketch on the web site.
I cannot find this page any more. It appears it was removed. I am
looking for another one ever since.
But today another question came about.
I was extracting from a leftover super 10 frames of honey . The combs
were newly built from this year and it looks that the measure is larger
than in brood cell combs I have talked about in other posts.
I have to measure those and will report.
Do the storage cells in converted colonies larger than the Brood cells??
