Lilly's complete annual : seeds fertilizers spray materiels poultry supplies stock foods bee supplies . Comb Foundation Considering the start given to a colony of bees bythe judicious use of comb foundation, the satisfactionof having nice straight combs to handle, and thepower to restrain by its use the overproduction ofdrones, there is no question in regard to the advisa-bility of using it. Medium Brood Foundation is recommended foruse in brood frames and extracting frames only. If your object in using brood foundation is onlyto secure straight combs, and you wiih to accomplishthat as cheaply as possible, a strip one inch wide andI6J/2 inches long, securely fastened in the center ofthe top-bar, will be sufficient.
