I've started to put together a pictoral guide for making comb sections on
a small scale using cappings. I thought I'd devote some effort to this
tutoral for small beekeepers as a "thank you" for all I've learned on BEE-
L. This method is easy, and I've done it several times in all different
weather conditions, so I think with regional modifications a beekeeper
almost anywhere could get 40 or so sections of comb in a month or two
using this method. I use the Hogg's sections as they are somewhat faster
to install than others, but I think one could make more profit by using
Ross Rounds. And this method would also work with Ross Rounds. Here are
just my preliminary pictures, but I would ask for any constructive
comments. The link is to my daughter holding the final product, just click
on the "comb honey" section of the gallery to see the others.
