Wayne,
Bees will NOT draw foundation without a nectar flow being present.  You can
use
1:1 sugar syrup as a "substitute" for a nectar flow; and this works well in
the spring, but not too well in hot weather of summer.

Hoping not to offend you, but perhaps you should read some VERY FINE BOOK
like the  1998 3rd Edition of Dr. Diana Sammataro's THE BEEKEEPER'S HANDBOOK,
or the 1992
Extensively Revised Edition of the HIVE AND HONEY BEE.

I hope I have helped.
