Hi Bob,

Given the time and risk of downsizing through 5.1mm to get to 4.9mm, is there a reason you chose   not to include a number of test colonies on 4.9mm Supercall?

There will be extra work involved because you can't just drop them into the brood nest and have the plastic accepted. It does seem like a valuable thing to try though, because it holds the promise of instant conversion to small cell.

Thanks
