Hi all,

As I read all the discussion about small cell size, I can't help but wonder
what size cells are after a few years in the brood frames if wax is not
changed? Does the cell not get smaller each time a bee hatches? Why change
the comb out for foundation? Why buy small cell size since it will be small
in a short time anyway? How many cycles does it take to be at the 4.9 size?
What happens to the 4.9 size after a few cycles of brood?

Lionel,

Just wondering.................
