Ok, I went and bought some wax, so I'm going to paint some on.   I'll keep you posted.  Not sure it's going to make much difference until the weather changes a little bit.  We are having a very cool damp spring in Southern Oregon.  Great answers, thanks for all of the input.

so...should I be feeding, or just hang on for the blackberries?  They are just starting to bloom in my area, but more cool wet weather predicted  :-x

what do they have fore stores and are your frames drawn out.  you have to go by what's inside.

I have some old frames that got ate up by the moths a whole back and after I cleaned them up with the pressure washer, I just stuck them in the basement out of the rotation.   I bet they don't have the wax coating left on them anymore since the cleaning.    When I put them back into rotation, I bet I need to rewax the boogers.   What does every body think would be best or easiest, dipping or brushing?  Keep in mind, there were just a handful of sheets to rewax.

A little wax melted in a old pan (that will be dedicated to only wax now) and a real cheep brush (not because I am cheep, they just work well) will go a long way coating those frames.

I second Allen.  Great pic.  More to the point - great experiment!  a beekeeper that actually runs an experiment and finds out.

Awesome--Thanks!
