Adony:
Are there any biodynamic subscribers who can explain to me
how you can get bees to draw frames with worker cells 
without using foundation. 

Reply:
While I do not use the word biodynamic, considering it
being sanctioned for nonusage for general beekeeping,
drawing frames with worker cells without foundation is no
harder then drawing TBHs top bars with no foundation. Here
for foundationless frames even a simple wax bead can be
used or slightly angled top bar (affixed into the frame
even). Then all that is needed is proper time of year for
worker comb building starting out,for the scenario you are
in starting the bees (either established colony changeover
or new feral swarm and/or package), and proper placement
between broodframes thereafter during buildup. Key is
knowing the difference in timing for bees wanting to build
worker comb vs drone/honeycombs, and how to get around it.
