Thanks,

I have never had anything like this happen, sort of speechless, but night before last a small tornado went along a field and totally destroyed two pallets of bee, hives and scattered supers and...

Does anyone have any idea what this is in the photos. I found it after inspecting a hive I bought where last year a new beekeeper had put them together with too many frames in a box, no spacing and...
