 Well I don't know if this is of interest, but I came accross some
 chinese wax foundation that had a cell size of 5.3mm!!! This is very

We, E H Thorne (Beehives) Ltd, manufacture foundation in England with a cell
width of 5.4mm or a fraction over, which gives 780 cells per square decimetre
(both sides). This is fairly typical for Europe. We still however are asked
for different sizes, such as 700, 800 and 900, and even 1060 for bees such as
Apis mellifera jemenitica.
