So, it doesn’t bother them?

I have always heard that it takes 7-8 pounds of honey for a pound of wax. Could you please clarify

I have used moth crystals before but would prefer the more natural cedar. I am a hobby beekeeper, currently with only one hive. I tried letting the bees make their own comb and ended up with very uneven comb that made it hard to remove or relocate frames during hive inspections. I noticed your comb looks very “straight” and in midline with the frame and am wondering how you manage to encourage the bees to build in this manner….
