| A correspondent of Le Rucher
Belge (August - September) remarks on the frequent variation
in size of cells in commercial foundation (especially now that
larger sizes are sold). Beekeepers who are careless and do not
make sure that they have got all their foundation of one size,
are thus apt to get several sizes in one colony. The bees may
in consequence avoid breeding in the sizes they do not 'fit,'
and if this does not occur, will have workers of several sizes.
Combs in such cases should be sorted into sizes at wintering
time. |
