Subject: Comb in glass jar


Does anyone have advice for getting comb built inside a narrow glass jar or
bottle?

Using an inner top board place the bottles you are wanting to use and mark
out diagonal lines on the board.  Using the intersection lines, cut the
round holes according to the size of the bottle neck, then screw the bottles
on.  Place a super without frames around the bottles and place the inner
board with all the bottles facing down towards the brood chamber.  While a
flow is on the bees will build comb in the bottles.
