Title: leaving frame to far apart
Post by: Arkwood on June 13, 2013, 09:04:41 AM
I went into one hive and to my suprise I had left a frame angled off the other about 1/4 or a tad more from the other. Of course I am wondering how I screwed that up... But that's not the point but I will double check for sure from now on. It looked as some of the comb was built out a bit further than normal. I put the frame back into the correct postion. I'm assuming they will break it down to the correct size now or will I have to do something?

2 years ago when my Observation hive was trying to swarm, Took it apart and gave them one deep frame of brood with 2 Q cells and a fully drawn frame above that and  a foundation above it. after it was all back together and in the house I realized that the drawn frame was touching the glass almost across the whole frame. In a little over a week, they had it cut perfectly flat. It looked like it was machine cut.
Your bees will take care of fixing it.
