Hi all

First let me illustrate the way I interpret the positioning.

        AY  AY  AY  AA  YA  YA  YA

Thus no like pattern is either side of an inter-comb gap.

I commend Michael Housal for noticing and recording the phenomena, but I am
certainly unsure of it's relevance to keeping bees in boxes.

Many years ago... I read some similar accounts that were written in the
1920s, but I dismissed them, partly because I did not understand them. This
lack of understanding was mainly due to my 'certainty' of the rules of
geometry.

In reading Dee's account of Micheal's work, I instantly recognised that this
was what the original 1920's stuff was talking about.

I still have a difficulty with the geometry of this special centre comb, but
I can be convinced if someone shows me an example. And if some of you
'bookworms' can find the texts that I refer to they will add to this
discussion.
