Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm really confused.
I understand that worker cells and drone cells are different sizes.
What I have in my brood chamber is plastic foundation...is this going to be a problem for raising brood? Will the bees make the cell size variations as they draw out the comb, or will the shaped plastic cell bases confuse them?
The plastic foundation came with the hive body despite my preferences and objections, so I'm stuck with it and I'd like to use it for the brood chamber if possible. However I'll toss it and throw good money after bad on pure wax brood foundation and deep super wedge top frames if the plastic stuff is going to make the bees all nutty.
Help help.
