This question has arisen before, and without blowing our trumpet too
loudly, you didn't ask us!!
         We can supply Drone foundation in a number of sizes to fit standard
and nonstandard hives in North America. These are narmally packed in
10s, but if you don't worry too much about cost and shipping we will
supply just one sheet.
        There was also a post regarding self made drone comb. Yes, I agree
the bees will make drone comb in a bare frame, but only if they want
to. More often than not they will make worker, then the whole
exercise is lost. Using drone foundation guarantees a full frame of
drone cells. Placing this frame in the middle of the brood nest will
produce drones all summer long.
