Interesting line of discussion going on current, re: colored wax.  We all
know that old comb with more volatile odors is more attractive, but COLOR?
Very interesting.
 
I have another question, that I know the answer exists, but I haven't been
able to find it in H&HB or ABC...yet.
How many bees can cover a deep frame, both sides?  How many capped bees can
occupy a deep frame, assuming in both the maximum number of bees/brood can
fit on a deep.  Anyone have some references?
 
Thanks, DIana
