Weird question- Alternating partial sections of plastic foundation on deep wood frames in the brood box. These frames have 1/2 foundation in the middle with each side left open. The idea is to relieve congestion and allow the bees to draw comb and cells of whatever size they wish. They chose to build large drone cells which I expected.
Watched drone activity a few feet away and noticed that the drones this year seem larger. These guys are massive. Also removed QE’s so they are free to go where they please (which I love by the way). Could they be larger? Because of being able to create cells of their own choosing?
