>I was extracting honey today and had a thought.  Why do we not use drone comb foundation in extraction supers?  There must be a good reason but I have never heard it.  

Richard, I do this very thing.   It's a known practice, although I don't recall where I picked it up from.

I use Pierco green drone frames cut down to medium size.    I understand Arcorn is now manufacturing greens in the medium size, and will eventually grab some of those.
