Hi all:
Recently new information was posted on the
OrganicBeekeepers discussion group concerning another small
cell product coming shortly:

Waya received and posted the following information:Mr.
Hamby replies:

the mold to  be done 12/25 to 1/1.  Hope to enter
production the first of the year.

Quote from following URL supplied by Keith Malone:
"The dimensions of the cell are as follows: OD includes the
cell
wall - 4.9mm, ID is 4.3mm. The cell count is 2250 cells per
side."

Looking at the picture I counted 70x42 rows of cells that
multiplied out to 2940 cells per side. It would be good to
obtain a sample. Although these might or may be correct
cell size dynamics I see them only good for the core of a
brood nest because other comb cell size dynamics are
missing such as drone cells and storage cells. They would
also be good for regressing colonies to entrain cell memory
so bees could draw wax out better.


Now with this posting, we would now have available in small
cell sizing:

1. waxbased foundation
2. crimp-wired foundation
3. Honey Super Cell small cell 4.9mm comb

Respectfully submitted,
