Fit the foundation into the frame so that the upper edge rests in the notch in the top bar and the lower edge lies in the slot of the bottom bar. Nail the wedge strip so that the nailheads are beneath the top bar when it is hanging in the hive (Fig. 19). Here they cannot later be acci- dentally hit with an uncapping knife. Place the wired frame and foun- dation on a board cut to fit within the frame. Roll
