MB & Brian, thanks for the info. Both of you have been a tremendous help! Another question for both of you: I have not purchased frames or foundation yet for my two new hives. They are all medium/10 frame boxes, sbb, slatted racks, inner cover w/jar feeder. I have been looking at the HSC frames and also the wax foundation 4.9mm sc. If I use the HSC will they start using this immediately? Using HSC what about drone comb? If I use 4.9mm wax will they draw 4.9mm comb?
Thanks,
Mark
