Hi Aaron and all!

I know that Aaron is talking about Ross rounds.  I run 9 frames in my
honey supers. I have a 4 frame extractor and found that 9 frames is a
pain.  Several years ago I started using a frame with cut comb
foundation in the centre.  I have modified the process over the years
and now insert an empty frame(no foundation) in the centre of each honey
super.  This provides me with all the cut comb honey, with drone sized
cells and no crunchy foundation, that I can sell.
