    Default comb on bottom screen...

    On my initial (2 week) inspection of our two hives which were started from packages 26 days ago, showed everything OK except for a few bumps in the comb, which I trimmed, but dropped a small bit between center frames... Today's inspection showed some more of the bumps, which I trimmed, but when I got to the second hive, center frames, I found that they have built a rather large comb on the bottom screen... I assume that this must come out, but being a newbee am not sure how best to remove it without removing about 4 frames and shoveling it out... It appears to be nearly saucer sized but does not touch the frames... All help will be really appreciated... Thanks... SugarDaddy

    Sounds to me as if they are trying to control ventilation.
