I will be going foundationless for the first time this year in Lang hives. Will be starting out 6-8 hives in all new equipment with package bees. I want to put wax starter strips in all the frames, by the way I decided to go with medium depth boxes for brood and honey, just to lighten up the weight of the boxes and for the advantage of interchangeability. What I would like to do is make the starter strips out of my own chemical free wax that I saved from my two existing TBH's when I harvested honey last year. Could I just make my own wax sheets, cut them into strips, say 1" high, and put them in the frames? Seems like it would work, it would be just like using popsiclesticks or something similar to give them a comb guide. I just thought that using a wax strip would increase the chances of them starting off right comb building. Looking forward to hearing any responses. John
