Hi all,

Thanks Lloyd for explaining the Killion super to me and forgive my ignorance. I have never produced comb honey before just extracted.   I have just read HONEY IN THE COMB as was suggested by certain members of the list.  An excellent read and I recommend it to everyone.  What advantage does using a slatted rack have verses not using one?  Does it's use reduce swarming or allow the queen to utillize more of the brood chamber?  Do commercial comb producers use them anymore or are they considered a gadget?  Thanks.
