Phil, they are looking good. I have such a hard time to get them to finish capping. They draw it out and half fill the comb and then they sit on it and don't finish for weeks. There is a reason why they demand premium prices for cut comb.
Thanks, ive been doing lots of thinking a might have it figured out after 5 years of trying. I found the ones that will build cut comb are the ones that are ready for the second honey super, and also undersuper them.
Todd try putting empty frame in between foundation frames
.also start when flow starts.
I heard also drawn comb on the outside couple frames help
How's things going Brad?

I can never get them to draw out cut comb. Never have a problem having them draw out foundation, but cut comb?…no way. Happy 4th Phil !
If you can get them to drawn foundation, try the full sheet wax for cut comb, I get mine from betterbee
Happy Independence Day Phil, Blessed Days buddy.
Same to you!
