Wired or wireless foundation?
« on: April 21, 2009, 12:06:05 pm »
I need to add a second brood box to the swarm hive.  The only extra super I have right now has foundation that is wireless.  Will that work for the brood box or is it better to have wired foundation?

Wireless will work but I always wire brood foundation just to keep it straight.  In the hot NC summers, I don't want the foundation curling and resulting in the bees drawing some really strange comb.
