    Here's another picture that goes with the zig-zag design:

    The holes are at the side of the top bar. That way the line won't get cut accidentally when burr comb is removed from the top.

    Excellent idea, Doris, and now I won't hesitate to replace line on my sea-reel which really should be replaced after too much stretching! (As long as I have another use for it, I feel it's not just wasted!) Don't know why I didn't think of this myself; I re-use baler twine all over the garden, for tying bean-poles together, supporting broad beans, etc., etc!

    I have a dozen frames which I want to insert in various colonies to let them draw their own comb.
    What is best way to make the holes through the side bars - drill and 2mm bit?
