So on Sunday I inspected my hives and found that one frame in both hives were drawn out much farther than it should have been. When I removed the queen cages I tried to even out the frames but must have done a poor job. So on Sunday as I was putting the hive back together I decided to put those frames closer to the adjacent frame hoping they would even out the two frames. When I peeked into the hive today to check on there sugar syrup levels I found they had drawn those two frames together at the very least across 60% of the top edge of the comb. This brood boxes are on wax coated plastic foundation. Is there an easy fix to this? And how should I go about separating the two frames in the next inspection?
You can use a hot knife (warm it in near boiling water). Just slice the frames apart to do the inspections. At some point in the future when it's convenient you can just use a hot knife to trim back the overextended comb. I've got several like that myself.
you don't want to space the frames. push them together toward the middle of the box. any space and they will build. leave extra space on the sides and it makes removing end frames easier.
Sounds like a new package? Are you worried about interfering with brood? If yes, would it be possible to continually move the two frames to the outside until they stop using them for brood, then pull the frames for fixing?
