Hi All

I recall reading either here or on Dave Cushman’s site that you should have empty drawn comb adjacent to the outside walls of the box.  Some bees(the kamikazes) would fill each of the cells with their bodies thus providing an insulating layer on the outsides of the cluster. True? False? Too much beer today?
