Title: foundationless frames
Post by: jgiles on May 10, 2010, 03:03:42 PM
My bees have been drawwing out comb on my foundationless frames from the bottom up and not very uniform either.  I have noticed two of my hives doing this and just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  I thought they drew from the top down.

Mine have done it, I had to cut away the comb and reattach it to the top. - they did it even though I gave them a 1"  strip of foundation set into the top as a guide - it happens,  but it shouldn't be left.
