Thanks, Dee.  I have been a General Contractor for 25 years and have finely
honed my skills at reading a ruler : )  I do, nowadays, require my reading
glasses, though.

I'm still curious about the foulbrood difference.  I understand that you and
Ed had foulbrood problems at 5.0.  Could that have possibly been a temporal
thing unrelated to the cell size?  Have you tried inserting frames of 5.0
back into the middle of a 4.9 colony to see if the 5.0's get foulbrood?
Perhaps you've detailed this somewhere.  If so, I apologize.  I'm still
open-minded about small cell--just want to know the facts.
