June Hughes who was lecturing on wax at Gormanston a couple of days ago
described how bees move wax around in a hive. She discovered this by adding
sheets of coloured foundation to the brood box. Parts were nibbled away and
the colours appeared in the super where the bees needed more wax at the time.
