Hi Guys,

I've just finished measuring comb from Barry's top bar hive which had fully
regressed Lusbees in it. It had the same broodnest structuce, tapered cell
size and cell size distribution, within a few percent, seen in the other top
bar hives I analysed. Barry will be posting the details at beesource and I
might generate a web page as well.

It appears bee size has very little to do with cell size. This should be
useful to all small cell beekeepers.

Regards
Dennis
