Inspired by a swarm that took over an empty hive that had frames but no
foundation and drew perfect comb in just the right place in the brood box,
this last year I have taken to 'wiring' frames with fishing line (doesn't go
rusty when the combs are fumigated with acetic acid) and just providing
starter strips. Works fine.
