...although (and if I'm getting boring feel free to just ignore me) the varying space between any two sheets of foundation does mean that the bees have to decide whether to make the cells a particular size and decrease the moving space for two bees between the two sides, or vice versa. Which is normally the result

I understand Adrian's point above now, that maybe the bees end up smaller in a hive with hoffman spacing. Is this what might happen?


dave cushman (RIP) used to sell 32mm casterlation for use with small cell foundation 4.9mm brood

the 32mm and 4.9mm foundation being an attempt to bred smaller more natural bees
