Barry: Measured the ten sheets of foundation on both sides as the bees
worked it. Every sheet on both sides almost perfect except along bottoms and
lower corners. I've had bees in the past - health problems forced me out in

mongral swarm but gentle as lambs. Never had to cover up to work them, and
they had managed to fill the two outside frames with honey. The SHB larva
thrived there. Roy
