You have to a least know the basics.
Yep, sure does help.
I knew the basics(
and just possibly a little more) before you were born.
Since you haven't used a wax embossing mill, can't even recognise one in a picture, are in your
first year with
one hive I would appreciate you not lecturing the rest of us.
You didn't answer the important question.
Are you saying all parts of the grooves are equi-distant from the center of the roller?Please look at those closeup pictures
again. Those protrusions are
not pyramids.
The sides are not triangles.
They
appear to be square, but are most likely diamond shaped.
You may have talents, training and experience that will be of great help on the forums and to the bee industry, but your observation and analytical skills need improvement.
I'm continually working on mine, as well as patience and tolerance.
Sometimes with success, sometimes not.
I'm on these forums to learn.
Since there are more people here(
that I can count on my fingers & toes), that have more knowledge, experience and expertice than I, it is worth wading thru the garden fertilizer.
