I only switched one frame around but if yous think I should have done more, let me know. It looks to me like they are doing well here...but what do I know?No, I think what you did made sense given how much they had drawn. I'm a little surprised by all that burr comb. Does anyone who uses foundation know if that is normal? I'm foundationless and I don't have trouble with them doing that unless they are in need of more space. I'm just wondering if they are a little bit resistant to the foundation, or perhaps they are drawing drone comb down there because the foundation is stamped for worker comb. If they just keep redrawing that, you can leave it if you want. In my experience, it's unlikely they will stick it to the floor or anything like that. (I use shallow frames in medium boxes regularly, so they often draw out the underside of the bottom bar on those frames.)
