Subject: Re: Regression Questions

Hi Dee

I have listened to you and others talk about shaking bees on to 4.9 mm
drawn out foundation. You are saying this is instant regression. If I was
to help someone to downsize their bees, I could give them ten frames of drawn
out 4.9 foundation. They can order a two or three pound package of bees from
a supplier, install the package on the 4.9 mm drawn out foundation. The next
brood box could be installed with full sheets of 4.9 foundation and the bees
would draw this out correctly. Am I correct in my assumptions?

thank you, forrest
