I am planning to put hives on small cell this season. I have Carniolans. A
friend of mine is working with Russian Hybrids and loves them, although they
are different to work with.

My question is (if you or someone has tried) which race makes a better
candidate for small cell foundation, and what the differences in technique
are.
