Do you snap the corners off of the BLACK WAXED RITE-CELL FOUNDATION. I just noticed that the corners are perforated and was wondering if you should snap them off or not before putting them in the frames. I have 200 to get done by Saturday and was wondering if anyone else does that.?

When I have time I do. When I don't have time, I don't.

I also snap the corners off, unless I’m swamped with work.
That’s wear planning comes in, if I’m thinking ahead.
Yes, I have some that aren’t removed.

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been removing them.
Why do they get removed?

They are supposed to be communication holes.

Bees are more likely to draw foundation all the way to bottom bar if you take the time to do it.

Thank you guys so much for the info. I will start doing it. I am guessing both are done and the holes sit at the bottom. I have 400 to do out of the 1000 I have. I bought an extra 600 so I could save 3 cents each on the first 400 hundred. :scratch:

Same question: but were does one place the snaped off cormer (s)? Top, bottom or a combination? I have some wax fondation deeps and the bees seem to put holes in all over the place or none at all. :scratch::scratch: I am now going to try foundationless frames and just let the bees do there thing, it will be interesting to see were the holes are and the relationship from frame to frame. :scratch:

So on 1-piece plastic would it make sense to drill the communication holes, or not worth the trouble?

IMO, not worth the trouble.
