Paus, one of our members here, uses skewers to support his foundation-less frames. As I was browsing through the grocery store yesterday, I ran across wooden skewers. I bought a pack of 100 and am going to try these. I am thinking that they will be better than the fishing line,(even stronger and faster to install), I have a couple questions that I would like to ask. Do the bees incorporate the skewers directly into the newly drawn comb? Have you tried placing the skewers in the slot in the top frame to be used as a starter strip?
Thanks, Phillip
