No mystery powers Greengage! I simply assumed from what gwizzie wrote – about some frames being marked for cut comb and on thin foundation – that the others were on something different.

Phew I gave you mysterious powers there should read the posts properly.
Xray eyes lol.
Nice one Kate and yes you're right there are a few marked for cut comb on thin foundation all the others on normal foundation. The reason that for this is as it is my 1st real year at the heather I thought that I would like to try cut comb and bottling some heather honey too. So to try and answer one of your questions in another post Kate I plan to try and use a smith cutter and then use a press to get the lovely heather honey out for bottling.
Ps. it was nice to see you on Sat when you were speaking to lyle :D
Hi Kate, sorry for l8t reply been very busy with work and new processing room and bees ect ect..... As I said in earlier post about the smith cutter, well its GREAT as far as I am concerned very easy to use and very fast at cutting through the comb. I did all mine no problem straight into a bucket and scraped the last of the honey with the scraper part then emptied bucket into my new press.
End product well all I can say is YUM YUM....
Put frames back onto the hives for them to clean up and they then started to draw then out again :)
Wait for the book which is also being serialised in the Ross-Shire Journal ... ;)
