I got into a brood box today, and found these foundationless frames I put in 2 years ago. I knew that I shouldn’t have. Anyway here’s the results.

Quite interesting how the cell size changes throughout the depth of the frame. Foundationless certianly has its draw backs.

These frames were the outside frames of a 9 frame brood box. The rest of the frames were reasonably good, 3 of which were foundationless frames. The colony was preparing to swarm. Hopefully I’ve prevented that from happening
