The endbars on the ones I bought in December measure 36 mm wide and the comb is 24 mm thick. Do the math and you have 12 mm bee space between the combs.
I know I was about to answer a new post asking where HSC moved to, but then my computer rebooted and now I can't find it at all. So here is the answer...
For those looking for HSC, I'm forwarding this from Mark Hamby:

The old Chinese frames had a slight bend or warp to them, it's a very obvious bend now.
The plastic does not seem to be the same. The new frames might be lighter and are not at all the same quality. It's hard to imagine that they came from the same molds.
There was some chipping of the face of the "comb" and each frame had been run over by some type of sander. I'm curious to know if the bees will use the fuzzy-edged, sanded comb.
I spoke with the owners of "HSC" and they are not pleased with the changes.
Hello
I am wondering if anyone is using Honey Super Cell Frames? I am new and wondering if I bought 1 frame that it might give the queen in my package bees a head start on laying eggs and increasing the size of the colony.
Thanks

If you buy one frame the bees will ignore that frame and work all the rest and probably swarm before they get desperate enough to work that one frame. If you give them a box full, they will likely use it before they give up and swarm. The will not work the HSC until they have no other choice.
