Hi Dee

> various spots in Europe with Russia now with declared worker size upped to 5.6mm officially

I thought that might be reference to something that I said about some 
strains of A. m. mellifera, but Dee links 5.6 mm to Russian stock.

Can we have references please ?

> most of us who use foundation measure it at 5.2 to 5.3. 

In UK we have a wider range of sizes available 5.1 to 5.9, but the 
majority falls in the narrower range 5.4 mm to 5.7 mm with 5.4 and 5.45 
being the most common.
