Anybody have any > suggestions for finding drone foundation in the U.S? This question has arisen before, and without blowing our trumpet too loudly, you didn't ask us!! We can supply Drone foundation in a number of sizes to fit standard and nonstandard hives in North America. These are narmally packed in 10s, but if you don't worry too much about cost and shipping we will supply just one sheet. There was also a post regarding self made drone comb. Yes, I agree the bees will make drone comb in a bare frame, but only if they want to. More often than not they will make worker, then the whole exercise is lost. Using drone foundation guarantees a full frame of drone cells. Placing this frame in the middle of the brood nest will produce drones all summer long. ******************************************* The Bee Works, 9 Progress Dr, Unit 2, Orillia, Ontario, L3V 6H1 Phone/fax 705-326-7171 David Eyre, Owner. http://www.muskoka.net/~beeworks ********************************************
