Great stuff!!!!Thanks.

Love it - natural all the way (we call it naked beekeeping in northern Cali - but we are all hippies up here!!!) love the info thank you

I never knew foundation comb was slightly larger than natural. The bees seem to like it anyway. You get less drone comb with foundation frames, plus the bees can produce more generations of bees with slightly larger comb, foundationless frames are ok as a standby, but I soon replace them with foundation frames. I don't think the chemicals other beekeepers use is a problem when using foundation. I'm chemical free so the wax the bees build onto it is chemical free. I'm happy with that.

Wonderful vids!!!! Using your own wax makes perfect sense. what did you use the first time around?

[Mrmizilplix]

Nice! It's got to be less expensive,With smaller bees to boot!

You should get started with these. It's always worked for us.

Would you recommend doing the frames like this for a first time beekeeper or should someone like me start with the premade panels?

Thanks again for such informative, yet cheerful posts.

Since seeing a colony that had to be relocated from a barn being restored and hearing about "wild" hives having greater vitality I wondered about this type of beekeeping. That was over 12 years ago and this is the first lead I've found that makes sense. Backward beekeeping just might push me over the edge toward actually beekeeping.
