For storage of honey in supers, slightly less wax is needed (for a given amount of honey stored) if the honey is stored in Drone cells as opposed to Worker cells and indeed the bees themselves will often fill in a damaged piece of super with drone cell. So, here is the question - why don't we use drone foundation in our supers in order to give the bees a slightly easier task in drawing out the larger (more efficient cells) ? Are there other subtle disadvantages such as, larger cells making it more difficult to dry the honey, or drone cells encouraging laying workers far away from the brood nest in pheromone- weak areas?
