However,  after my frustration, I heartily recommend nailing a 1" strip of 
unwired wax  foundation into the wedge bar.  Wire your frame like you normally 
would,  insert the 1" strip (I cut mine with a pizza cutter using a 1" board 
for a  guide) into the wedge bar and allow the bees to draw out the rest of the  
frame.  



If you intend to use acids for the control of varroa you might like to  
'wire' with nylon fishing line rather than with metal.
