find someone with nucs that are already on small cell. no regression required. problem solved. put in 4.9 foundation or let them build natural. then after they get going you can worry about other problems like when to feed, how to feed, what to feed, supering, whether or not to use an excluder, buying extracting equipment, how to harvest, when to harvest, extracting, superseding, doing mite drops, trapping hive beetles, inspecting for brood disease, robbing, eventually swarming, requeening hot hives, requeening poor queens, and the list goes on and on and on..... oh, but how much i love it all. ;)
