Has anyone seen or experimented with comb honey section sizes smaller
than those employed by the Ross Round or Hogg Half Comb systems.  In the
days of basswood sections were there any rules about what the bees would
build on or ignore?

Ross and Hogg seem to pick 8 oz. as a readily marketable size but are
smaller sizes accepted by bees?  From searching the archives it seems
that whole frames are better accepted by the bees, and round sections
more likely to be filled out than square.
