5 5/8 x 16 3/4 crimped wire - 60 Sheets. Here is the description from a Catalog - Retail price $1.60 per sheet: Cell size is 4.9mm (5 5/8 inch wired foundation). Suggested for use by experienced beekeepers only.  Varroa Mite have a hard time reproducing on worker brood raised in small cell comb.  Those beekeepers who on their own have tried this technique report good results,  with varroa screens and drone foundation. Switching a colony of honey bees to small cell comb  can be hard if not done at the correct time of the year. Honey bees first start major brood rearing in the  Spring or right after swarming. The beekeeper should introduce 10 frames of small cell foundation per brood chamber.  So, if you are an experienced beekeeper who likes to experiment and want to move ahead of the chemical control crowd  with your honey bee management, this may be for you. Size 5 5/8 x 16 3/4 inches, LH wired for added stability. I am not in the industry so please do your research from the details on the box and description to make sure this is what you need. Thanks !!
