All of you are wonderful.

Phillip & Jvalentour, yes it appears that I did misunderstand. My apologies, and thank you both for your clarifications. Feeding back honey makes a lot more sense. In either case, my wording could and should have been smoother. I wasn't meaning to antagonize.

Mr Bush, thank you for providing the deeper explanation. As I look thru the hives, I've seen what you describe regarding the comb qualities.

... I might have to give the RR's one more go-round. I really like them!

Thanks Alan. To tell the truth I almost thought the same as you . I am guessing with all the talk about honey from different countries not being pure, that subject was fresh  on my mind. Until I read it a second time is when I caught that honey was mentioned. Do not feel like the Lone Ranger on this one. 😊😁

Hey beeks!
It took me 2 seasons to get the hang of the Ross Rounds, really. I once put a box of empty RRs, with a small starter strip, on top of a hive with 2 full supers of honey. And put one super on top of that with foundation, just in case they collectet A LOT of honey. When I came back six days later, the RRs were empty and the top super full....

Gotta really squeeze them in. populous hives, good flow.

I made little frames with a similar method like the ross rounds with a follower board, so the comb would get even. hold 1 kg. some folks just appreciate cut comb and I sell it dearly.
