Second, repeat after me: "One cell size can't do it all." Third, simply get your bees on a small cell core. Fourth, don't loose your bees while doing it. Treat those bees, when necessary Fifth, don't sweat the small cell stuff. comment: Like I said, you aren't stating that small cells are the only thing in your management plan. You do reject the whole idea of artificially enlarged bees, to your credit. I. G. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
