Hi Joel,

You can get a copy of of Wedmore, A MANUAL OF BEEKEEPING (for english
speaking beekeepers), at barnes & nobles. Look under used and rare books there. I believe there are about 4-5 left so don't wait to long. Runs
around $25 US. The book has good info on foundation making, old ways of
wiring, cell size, swarm trapping, manipulations, and other info not
readily found in modern books. Wedmore wastes no words they all count in
this book.

Don't have much experience with TBH's. How about using the Jumbo Dadant hive dimensions? Don't have measurement off hand. I'm sure someone on the list does.
