Howdy all,
     Getting ready to order some supplies for next year, and I need some
advice from the list.  A fellow beekeeper, who produces quite a bit of comb
honey says he never uses a full sheet of comb foundation in his boxes.  He
uses a 1 inch starter strip across the top.  does this work well?   Next
year, I would like to use shallow boxes to make some cut comb honey.  He
claims the bees make a thinner midrib than the foundation, thus better cut
comb.  Does this work or not? Would I be better off using a full sheet of
foundation instead.  Thanks.

Scott
