In natural combs, they build larger cells at the top of the hive and on all sides, to accommodate the storage of nectar and honey. Sections of this comb will also be used for the raising of drones. The queen is escorted to the larger cells to lay a series of drones, and then forced back to the brood area. In a hive with foundation, they are forced to build the same size cells from top to bottom and from side to side. It is unnatural. If you give them space to build their own comb, when all they have is smaller cells, especially at the top of the hive, they will draw it out large for drone and nectar. They seem to feel a need for a percentage of larger cells. A better option for getting foundationless frames drawn out would be to add a new frame to the center of the brood chamber, and rotate as they build it out. They will build the top of the new frame with larger cells for nectar, but then go to a smaller cell in the center of the frame, for brood. If you only have a handful of hives, that would be the best way to go about it.
