Thank you - I'll be interested in talking to Brian. There's an organic beekeeping yahoo group that I joined that has a lot of information about this, but I like to hear everyone's points of view on things.

He has small celled bees, it might be easier to buy a small cell hive from him and compare that hive with the hives you have.
