I do cutouts and often give the bees to the beekeepers that bring me the jobs. I have had quite a few requests to supply cutouts to people with top bar or warre hives. I have not figured out a good way to supply the cut comb. My system is Langstroth hive foundationless frames and a Langstroth modified as a bee vac.
I've seen some rigs like pieces of twist tie, hair clips, etc. but I just havent seen any technique that looks ideal.
I was wondering if I just placed cut comb with brood and nurse bees, etc, in the hive. Just sort of carefully leaning it in there. would the bees nurse and hatch whatever they could and then rebuild on the top bars and eventually transfer whatever goodies they have in the cut comb to the comb they draw on the top bars?
