The swarm I placed into the TBH with these comb guides created very streight comb :) They had no old comb in the hive just the cotton comb guides covered in wax :)<br />Many beekeepers use triangle comb guides as you with great results.

You just take upp the string and put it on the list. Hold it for a while and then its ready.<br /><br />But my experience is that a triangle list on the toplist with some painted wax is the best solution. Less work and best result.Patrick Sellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067679328646646784noreply@blogger.com
