Just wanted to add that the Pierco medium frames have larger, drone-sized, cells.  This put an end to my thinking about using 3 mediums for the broodnest ...

Hi Maurice

I have measured several samples of Pierco one-piece frames and
there are two possibilities as examples exist in both 5.20 mm and
5.25 mm depending on which die was used for production.

I cannot find any numbers on the finished frames that refer to
the die, so you will need to measure 20 cells to establish which
size you have.
