Hi Josh & All,

> Has anyone developed a foundation with varying sizes, with the smaller
cells to the center and the larger to the outside?  If you wanted to go all
out, you could design every frame differently in the hive to perfectly mimic
what is seen in nature.

Nature is chaotic and difficult duplicate, so no foundation will or could be
made to mimic nature, in my opinion. If you have ever let bees make their
own comb you would see bees make combs faster than when they have foundation
to start. If you want combs that mimic nature let the bees build it from
scratch. There are beekeepers who do this and have very good success keeping
bees with no treatments. Sorry I had to respond.
