        Thats what I thought untill I got some bees from Rossman in GA.
In general, these bees are very good at comb building and especially
comb repair. I was quite surprised to see them reconstructing very nice
worker cells over bare spots on Duraguilt. I've had Duraguilt in my
operation for years and have never seen this before. Just another
example of the many charcteristics that are possible to find in our
bees.
