Do I need to buy wire and an embedding tool to install foundation in the newer style frames? None came with hive kit that I purchased, but it looks like a given. Do I need to go back and get a gig, wire, tools, etc., to finish up. Thanks, David.
David, Really not needed for brod frames as you get that foundation with wire already imbedded. If foundation for comb honey you do not want wire in it. For extraction honey the best way and easiest is to get it with wire in it. Trying to buy all the stuff and develop it is not a issue for you at this time.
Had several problems with the install and the days following. Queen slip to the bottom twice. Wax on the frame broke down. Frame has some wax protruding outward, not sure what to do about that. Do I replace the frame or just let it go.
Let me know if you think this may be useful.

ReplyDeleteGood luck Guy's on Saturday. Just breath in a bag and SLOWLY follow instructions Rob mailed to you.
