In 1986 I purchased 500 colonies from an orchard in NY state. They had wired
their frames in this manner, although they used steel wire. Many of the combs
were drawn out in an "S" shape. and eventually were drone along the concave side
of the "S".

I too have been experimenting with using nylon fishing line for wiringfoundation
I put the unwiredfoundation in the frames and wire the frames so that the upper
strand lies close to the foundation on one side and the lower strand the other.
