Try for yourself Pete as some sellers of small cell foundation have quit
selling the product.
Uniforrn sized small cell foundation is as unnatural as large cell. I let
the bees decide for themselves what sizes of cell to construct. They
prefer to have a range of sizes on each frame, generally smaller in the middle.
They also tend to have larger/smaller cell sizes in different parts of the
hive. This has to be less stressful than the 'one size fits all' approach.
