Abstract: Honeybee nests constructed without man-made wax foundation have significantly more variability of cell widths/sizes than those in commercially-kept colonies. The effects of this natural variability in comb cell widths on individual and colony traits have… read more here.

Abstract: During the spring development of bee colonies, small-cell combs were found to create equally favorable conditions for worker bee rearing as standard-cell combs, since the workers reared in the small-cell combs did not differ significantly… read more here.
