If you don't find any, you might look into using HSC(honey super cell) as a fall back option.

that's true, but expansion does not require drawn comb.  you can use foundation allow them to draw their own.

i think you will find that it does not make much difference.  they will draw what they need, when they need it.  if they need comb to store honey, they'll make it.


good luck in your quest.
