I'm sure there are better out there, but this was an almost perfectly flat frame that I extracted today. Felt a shame to uncap it.............

Bees have not done a similarly neat job on my cut comb foundation!
 
That made me laugh. Nice frame and I like the gloves too.
 
Plumberman,

Good looking frame.

Mine would all be like that - if they were perfect.

Trouble is when there are only 8 or 9 frames in the box they tend to be just a tad broader!

Probably a shame now we know it is wired, or plastic, or brooded foundation. Otherwise could have made some nice cut comb.

You obviously are not training them well enough; they put the flat comb in the wrong place for you? Or were they practising on the 'cut comb' first and then got it right on this frame?

Regards, RAB
 
Great frame its a lovely thing to look as and I have seen worse at the honey show in previous years
 
May I add to the porn :) here is one of my medium Langstroth frames.

I've been experimenting with frame spacings in the super - but my bees can evidently read. As soon as they see the CC that I marked on the frame, they go into wonky frame mode..............
 
I would accept a wonky frame! A super of 9 frames of foundation with 1 frame of cut comb in the center - result 9 drawn frames filling nicely and 1 cut comb frame untouched:cuss:
