Me: "I  noticed that they were a lot bigger than my local mongrels in 
S.England. 
I  don't know whether this is due to race or foundation size."


Peter: "Race".



Me again: This this means that there is no such thing as the right  
foundation/cell size for ' the European honeybee'.  My own observations  show a 
range of brood cell size in naturally drawn comb and a range of worker  sizes.
