At the risk of being outed as a neophyte who shares the having chores with
the main keeper:

What happens if, instead of putting plastic or wax foundation stamped with
a pre-set cell pattern of size x, one installs blank sheets of foundation?

Seems to me, at the very least, one would have a control cell dimension.

I'll admit, the cell size debate taxes my level of interest, but it seems
so obvious.  And with this net gadget, folks from all over the map could
do the same experiment, note their location, the race of bees they work,
and mite drop at various times of the year (coordinated).  Maybe the bees
have something to tell us.
