My bees (two separate hives) have made a bit of a mess of drawing out my Manley frames. Instead of drawing them out as normal, quite a few of the frames have been built onto with wild comb, either parallel with the face of the foundation or perpendicularly bridged between the frames. I have had to resort to ripping the wild comb out with the hive tool and intermixing these frames between the ones that have been drawn out properly, which wastes time and wax and they still end up a bit uneven. There is no extra gap between the frames, they are all in tight in the super.
Anyone else had this problem?
