Bee Space Violation

(1/2) > >>

jataylor:
As you can see in the photo, I violated "Bee Space" seriously between frames 4 and 5.  The space between all the other frames is proper and all you can see are bees working on the foundation.  This was after only one week following a new package install.  The space was left to give room for the queen cage.  The queen was release when I checked.  I cleaned out the brace comb and reestablished the proper bee space between the frames.  Hated to lose all that energy and comb production, but would be a real mess if honey was stored in the comb and had to try and remove a frame or two.  Another lesson of many I'm sure to learn.

Shawn:
That is a nice clear picture. I think its better to get it straighten out now before they get all the frames like that.

AllenF:
Been there, done that, will do it again I'm sure.    Great pic showing it.
