> Question would AHB be bigger if raised on larger comb?

Experiments with other bees have gotten only very slightly larger bees, 
however, some beekeepers in South Africa are raising scutellta on 5.2mm comb 
and claim they are as tame as EHB.  I don't know how they accomplished this, 
but I think the info is out there. I don't think it was merely from 
enlarging the comb, but from breeding, but maybe others will say. I think it 
was discussed here recently.
