Hi to all you keen minds:
"The dimensions of the cell are as follows: OD includes the
cell wall - 4.9mm, ID is 4.3mm.

Reply:
Now the initial post is there, note the ID is 4.3mm here.

Question: Knowing the injection mould for the side walls is
probably doing this and would prefer to see the sizing more
inside of 4.7mm to 4.8mm.....

For an initial fast regression down, knowing that bees too
big now will go smaller...........

Will bees too small (noting that worldwide normal lowest
range is about 4.6mm) then now go bigger.....?

But it the mean time.......with 2-4 combs for a jump start
to immediately change a colony shaken down over and get a
queen laying/brood turned, and then maybe waxbase
foundation around to jump to maybe a better SC sizing....

What are your thoughts for saving colonies with it?

Respectfully submitted,
