I have a 10 day old cut out in the back yard. Today I noticed the Rubber Bands that I used to strap the comb in the frames was being piled up out side the doorstep. Looks like they chewed them off. Had no idea this might happen, thought I would have to take them off when I did a two week check. Is this normal??

I set up an observation hive using comb suspended by rubber bands. It was totally fascinating watching those bees cut the bands and pull them like a snake out of the hive. They never gave up. So far they have been working on them about four weeks and still haven't got them all out......just one or two left.
