I am about to start preping for the up coming summer and putting frames together and wiring them and all those mid winter day activites. And i hve a question about foundation sheets. i use fulld epth frames and normally insert a full sheet of foundation into a frame. However I know of people that use maybe a third of a sheet as a sort of starter for the frame.
Apart from the cost saving of using one sheet for three frames, is there any other advantages/disadvantages of doing this. I appreciate that the bees will need a lot more sugar syrup or honey to enable a massive wax production to draw out the frames.
Any thoughts please.
