No, they are still all over it.

I mean storing honey. Looks to me like all brood combs. Id think theyd atleast have 1 comb in each hive. There's tons of white clover and other plants for pollen and nectar..

I've had a hive since late April and another one late may. I have zero honey combs being built in both. And both starting to build crooked comb and when I fix it they build it back in the same spot,...

Wasn't that I handled it wrong, I should've waited till comb was hard not fresh, not making that mistake again..

I didn't use a guide.. (thankfully building perfect) let me know how it turns out

Didn't realize it takes so long for comb to cure...was turning it over. Of course I don't want to quit just upset..

Went out to check the hive..checked my second brood comb and it fell off. I'd reattach but it was mush. Lay it on the bottom board or toss it? :(

Thank you, I was going to leave it anyway cause noone can predict what they'll do. And I tryed searching for the answer but is noone could understand, maybe I was searching the wrong question.

Wow...now how'd you get that out of what I said?, but thanks anyway ill just leave half 1 1/4 bars and half 1 1/2 and if they build more brood then what I have ill add more.

Half brood bars half honey...

Everyone doing half bars brood and half honey?

The hive with them already building is my first hive ktbh, they are building straight just not filling out bars. The hive that I made a strip for front and back is a hive I'm waiting on bees for...

Not sure where to post...Is anyone using 3/16inch spacer in front of the first bar and behind the last bar? Also bees built on 11 bars and only building on half

Hello all, this is my first year, I started two ktbh . Installed first package already....getting my second probably end of May! So far hive 1 seems to be doing good.bees are from two diffrent...
