Gee Chris, A colony shakedown. How drastic! Why if they got to shakedown to
new combs and/or foundation then they might want to use 4.9mm foundation
next They might follow the heretics afterall.

Have they started allowing then, the reprocessing of wax with waterbath
yet, by pressing under water after 24 hours of heat to release wax in double
burlap sacks, for remaking into either new smaller foundation or even
candles?

Best regards,

Dee- ( thinking maybe I should watch to see what the next step will be (and
if similar to what we are doing)).
