I am new to beekeeping and am in the process of organizing my gear for my
first two hives. A friend of mine was recently attended a lecture put on by
a local beekeeper. The beekeeper brought with him a quantity of frames
filled with foundation. The foundation had two holes through it which were
described as "passageways" for the bees. In all the research I have done I
have never heard mention of these "passageways", in fact the foundation I
purchased ( Rite cell) has no such passageways. Are these passageways needed
in any way by the bees ? Should I incorporate them into my frames/
foundation ?
