Ernie;
After being invited to take over an abandoned beeyard, during the
clean-up of the discarded equipment I noticed that the previous occupant
had relied on 'bobby pins' to hold the foundation straight in the frames.
It looked good to me... and has proved to bee quick, inexpensive (cheap)
and reliable. With the use of a radial extractor my first concern is to
hold the foundation straight until the workers draw out the comb, not
re-enforcing each frame for the honey house operations.
