Dadant and Sons, Inc,. 51 South 2nd St Hamilton, Illinois 62341-1399
USA 217-847-3324 offers three different ways of making comb sections.
They have round 8 oz plastic, square 16 oz wooden, and 12 oz plastic
cassettes. You can get a catalog from them.
Another supplier for the first two would be Walter Kelly Co. 3107
Elizabethtown Rd. PO Box 240, Clarkson, KY 42726-0240 USA 800-233-2899
(A free call in the US; I don't know if it is for you)
Personally I have abandoned all section comb production, and do not even
use comb honey foundation. I place empty frames between two good frames of
comb, and the bees make beautiful frames of comb honey, which I cut and place
into wide-mouth jars. Fill the rest with liquid honey, and you have a lovely
pack, which sells well, at least in this area.
