I am experimenting with foundationless in my 8 frame hive(I have a 10 frame as well). I started out by putting the nuc in a deep and placing foundationless frames on the ends. I went on vacation...

Check out the treatment free forum...sounds like you are heading that way and onto something!:)

Gorgeous!

Hi Cerezha,
I corresponded a few weeks back. I have a 10 frame and 8 frame. I decided to experiment with frameless foundation in the 8 frame. I took my first deep and put foundationless frames on...

Opening up a hive in February(in eastern WA)...I thought my hive was dead..tons of dead bees, no sound in hive(whereas a week before there were signs of life). I started tearing it apart and...

I see your point too, Cerezha...I don't have time anyway to shave all the ends. I got the idea of putting the 5 frames from the nuc in the 2nd/top deep box(and the remaining 3 foundationless)on top...

Hi Cerezha,
I have another question about foundationless..do you put one extra frame in the box(so if you use an 8 frame you'd put 9 or 10 frame you'd use 11). I read about this in Mike Bush's...

If you are I am right there with you..this is my first year...I had one hive, they made it into Feb(through coldest Jan)...didn't hear anything in hive, saw lots of dead bees..assumed it was dead. ...

Great thanks...I am thinking either of popsicle sticks or just using some of the extra foundation I have...cutting it into strips..however I don't have any wax...can't I just glue it? Another person...

Sergey or anyone who would like to answer,
I am going to use standard deep frames in the deeps..taking out the plastic foundation. So if I put popsicle sticks/foundation strips across the top do I...

Has anyone tried foundationless in the deeps and frames in the mediums? Just curious.

You are inspiring me,...I have two nucs coming and have a 10 frame and 8 frame hive. I am seriously contemplating going the foundationless route in my 8 frame hive..the only thing is that I have 2...

Makes sense to me! Thanks for sharing.

I am just a backyard beek looking to experiment a bit.

Has anyone just done foundationless in the brood boxes? And leave foundation in the honey supers? Sorry if that is a dumb question...

Thanks for the video!

Do I put it right in the middle of the frames? And I assume that the 2nd box will be put on when all the 8 frames are drawn, correct?

I am getting 2-5 frame nucs the middle of April and am considering(very strongly) converting to foundationless frames. I read...

I started with a 10 frame traditional hive and just bought my first 8 frame hive...I did order some 8 frame deeps though so they are not all mediums. The lure of lighter equipment for my weakling...

So when is the last time you noticed they were in the hive? Just curious.

Gotta have my cup of java in the AM:))

Great idea...recycling is a good thing;) Couldn't you leave the plastic insert in?
