I do this the exact same way, only with a much lighter coating. In my experience, filling the foundation cups causes some hives to build wonky comb on top of the extra thick wax. I have learned this year to never buy cheap foundations… I’ve spent so much time and energy pulling hundreds of frames, scraping wonky comb, and re-waxing. Had to buy more wax at one point as well. But, i keep almost 100% of the wax to give back to the bees

Thank you so much for the info. That's seems like sound advise. With this being the start of our second year we still have a lot to learn but like trying things for the experience as well. Please tell other about our channel and thanks for taking the time to stop by.

@@SolitudeAcres no worries… I’m still “new” to beekeeping as well. Have learned a ton in the last 4 years by experience. Keep it up… it can be a wild ride

@@orangevw36 yeah we found that out so far. Once you think you understand something the next thing you find out is you didn't really know anything. We have come to conclusion that we just have to take every moment as a learning time.
