If you already have small cells bees (mine are from Don 'The Fat Beeman') is there any problem with using small cell foundation. I am looking at Dadant's website and they say that only really experienced beekeepers should use their 4.9mm was foundation.

Thank you, all. On the bulk of this info I went ahead and ordererd some 4.9 from Dadant. Will check out Brushy Mountain next.

Thanks, but I don't think I am ready for that yet.

You should not have any trouble unless you do not have small cell bees. That is why they place the caveat. Some new beeks try to put 5.3+ bees on 4.9 and a mess ensues. "This stuff dont work." etc. You should also try Mann Lake pf-100s. They work great and never a problem. I put large cell bees on this to regress them.

Thanks. I will try the PF-100 too.
