Can someone simply explain the difference ?
I just cannot grasp it.

I'm pleased to see you are studying RogueDrone. I was just looking for the answer to that question myself. Thanks all.Can someone simply explain the difference ?

One and the same broadly speaking. Brace comb is produced by bees to reinforce/ stabilise comb, burr comb is produced to fill any void greater than a bee space , if we insist on a difference

I think there is a difference, if only in the underlying cause.
Brace implies intentional support, which is what the bees do when 'gluing' bits of a hive together in an attempt to re-create their natural comb structure.
A 'Burr' - certainly in engineering terminology - implies a raised area above a 'land', or flat area. The sort of thing which is produced when you drill a hole in steel plate ...
Hence - Burr Comb is produced on the face of framed comb, as the result of the inter-comb spacing being too wide - such as in this particularly fine example:
Different underlying causes entirely. But some folks lump 'em together - never understood why.
