I love it Nuff said

[BULLSEYE BILL]

Who is Nuff, and why did he say it?

I have over 100 hives that are 100% PC, I guess you can count me in too. :D

I purchased 4 deep boxes from them and look forward to using it next year. I have a friend who recommended it but did find that those frames that he introduced later in the season weren't as readily accepted. However, he has been pleased as well. I will also be focusing more on wax foundations as well as permacomb for the brood boxes

Papar,
You may be confusing PermaComb with Honey Super Cell. PC comes in a medium depth frame only and is about 5.0 MM. HSC comes in deep only and is around 4.9 MM.

If you have fully drawn plastic mediums it is PC.
If you have fully drawn plastic deeps it is HSC.

So far for me the PC is working better than the HSC, but that is the first full year results for a really poor year. I know what I have with the PC and I really like it. IF we have a good year next year, and having used and accepted HSC, will tell a better tale whether HSC will be the way to go with deep broods.

I had acceptance problems at first until I took two frames out of my dads hive that his bees had started to fill out.And it was like a light went off in my girls head(Oh so thats what this is for)by the way this two frames where mixed in with wax frames in my dads hives.

I've been looking and googling and can't find where to buy it. You'all know?

[Velbert]

I have noticed that the HSC has a flat bottom in the cell

Foundation has a tapered bottom being deeper in the center of the cell, also on the 1 piece plastic frame or the plastic foundation they are tapered also

WHAT are the bottom of the cells in PermaComb like Flat or tapered

[Michael Bush]

The bottoms of the cells in PermaComb are tapered.
