When I purchased my supplies, i also purchased sheets of foundation  I am now thinking of going foundation less, can i cut up the sheets and use them as starter strips?

Michael Bush

You can.  But wooden strips would be more permanent.  Sell it to someone who wants it... or melt it for candles...

Thanks, maybe i'll see if someone in my bee class wants to buy it.

If you got wedge top frames, you can glue and nail the wedge in sideways. They will build well off that. If you got grooved topbars, you can glue popsicle sticks in the groove.

You can stick those little bamboo skewers in the groove too.  I put a couple in either vertically or diagonally.
