Allen Dick:
Another point in regard the question of cell size is that
we have always known (even though the matter has been
questioned) that older comb tends to have cocoons build up,
resulting in small bees.  By many that was considered 
a Bad Thing.  FWIW.

Reply:
With LC this is especially true for the bees leave the
cocoons in to help get the walls thicker. But it is also
noted in old archives before the times of enlargement with
LC to extremes, that the bees readily chew and keep thin,
the cell walls in old combs, and this was written about
much by E.B. Wedmore.
