>>>  the new comb is much colder than the old.”
Excerpt From: Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth. 

<><><>   Has a study been done as to the R factor difference between new comb and old comb?  And how old does comb have to bee to bee considered 'old comb'?  Seems to me that the insulation factor would bee the movement of air between the frames of comb and that transference of heat by the midrib of the comb or the conductivity of heat/cold by the wax comb would have minimal effect on the transference of heat/cold within the colony.
